In Greek mythology, Cyllene (Ancient Greek: Κυλλήνη Kyllênê) may refer to two characters:
- Cyllene, an Arcadian oread (mountain-nymph) who gave her name to the Mt. Cyllene.[1] She nursed the infant god Hermes, who was born on Mt. Cyllene.[2] She became the wife of Pelasgus[3] by whom she bore the impious king, Lycaon.[4] Otherwise, the latter's mother was either the Oceanid Meliboea[5] or Deianira, daughter of another Lycaon.[6] In some accounts, Cyllene was instead the wife of Lycaon[7] but in others versions of the myth, his wife was called Nonacris.[8]
- Cyllene, an Arcadian daughter of Menephron who was raped by her father.[9] In some accounts, Menephon was the son who ravished his mother Cyllene.[10]
