Clymene, home

In the pantheon of Greek dieties—if I have this right—the Titans Oceanus and Tethys, brother and sister, respectively, married and produced three thousand sons and an equal number of daughters, river-gods and Oceanids, also respectively. One of the girls was Clymene, who married a Titan named Iapetus and bore him two famous sons, among others, Atlas and Prometheus. For this feat, a large moon of Saturn was named after him. Clymene, on the other hand, was honored by becoming the namesake of this handsome Tiger Moth. Haploa clymene is a strikingly marked stunner that appears both at the porch lights by night and on leaves during the day, and its prickly caterpillars are quite fond of the Joe Pye Weed plants that are just now coming into bloom. In keeping with the Greek spirit, I take this visit as a sign... but I'll need to talk to an Oracle to get an idea of what it might presage.
