Cleolla

 ( Women In Greek Mythology ) 

In Greek mythology, Cleolla or Cleola (Ancient Greek: Κλεόλλα)Parada, s.v. Cleolla. was the daughter of Dias, the son of Pelops, and by some accounts the mother, or grandmother, of Agamemnon and Menelaus.Hard, p. 508; Gantz, p. 552; Grimal, s.v. Dias; Parada, s.v. Cleolla.

Most accounts have Agamemnon and Menelaus, as the sons of Atreus, the son of Pelops, and Aerope.For the standard genealogy, see Hard, p. 708, Table 15; Grimal, p. 481, Table 2. However according to the Byzantine scholar John Tzetzes (citing "Hesiod, Aeschylus, and some others"), she was, by her first cousin Pleisthenes (the son of Atreus and Aerope), the mother of Agamemnon, Menelaus and Anaxibia,Tzetzes, Exegesis in Iliadem 1.122 (= Hesiod fr. 137b Most). while, according to the scholia to Euripides Orestes 4, she was married to her uncle Atreus, and was the mother by him of Pleisthenes who became the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus and Anaxibia (by Eriphyle).Gantz, p. 553; Fowler, p. 435; Hard, p. 508; Brill's New Pauly, s.v. Pleisthenes.
