Hieromneme

In Greek mythology, Hieromneme (/ˌhaɪərɒmˈnm/; Ancient Greek: Ἱερομνήμη, romanizedHieromnḗmē) was a minor naiad of Asia Minor. Her name means 'memory of the holy rites' which came from the words hierós and mnêma.

Hieromneme was a daughter of the river-god Simoïs, and the wife of Assaracus, by whom she bore Capys. Alternately, Hieromneme was the daughter-in-law of Assaracus, wife of Capys and mother of Anchises. In some accounts, Clytodora was called the wife of Assaracus while Themiste was regarded as the consort of Capys.
