No mythological origin is provided in the available sources. The name Cleonymus appears as a Greek personal name borne by multiple historical men across the fifth to third centuries BCE and is reused in modern Linnaean-style taxonomy as the name of a wasp genus; the sources do not offer a narrative origin or legendary background for the name.
The sources do not describe any physical or supernatural appearance for Cleonymus. References are to historical persons (an Athenian general; a beautiful youth, son of Sphodrias, associated with King Archidamus III of Sparta; a Spartan Agiad general; a tyrant of Phlius) and to a wasp genus; no description of a mythic or ghostly form is given.
No supernatural abilities or behaviors are attributed in the cited materials. Behaviors attributable to the name come from historical roles (military and political functions such as generalship or tyranny) and from the taxonomic designation (genus of insects); the sources provide no magical or spirit powers.
