Cleophyle (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Cleophyle (Ancient Greek: Κλεοφύλης) was an Arcadian queen as wife of King Lycurgus,[1] son of Aleus and Neaera. She was the mother of his four sons: Ancaeus, Epochus, Amphidamas, and Iasius.[2] Otherwise, the name of Lycurgus' wife was called Eurynome or Antinoe.[3]
