In Greek mythology, Periopis (Ancient Greek: Περίωπις) was a princess of Pherae as daughter of King of Pheres[1] and possibly, Periclymene, daughter of King Minyas of Orchomenus.[2] She was the possible sister of Admetus,[3] Lycurgus,[4] Eidomene,[5] and Antigona.[2] Periopis was the mother of Patroclus by Menoetius.[6] Otherwise, the hero's mother was called Damocrateia,[7] Sthenele,[8] Polymele[9] or Philomela.[10]
