Clonius

The sources do not present a single unified origin story for 'Clonius'; rather, the name is borne by multiple distinct mortal individuals across epic cycles. One Clonius is attested as a Boeotian leader among the Achaeans at Troy, another as an illegitimate son of Priam of Troy, two separate men named Clonius appear as companions of Aeneas slain in Italy, and yet another is recorded as a defender of Thebes during the war of the Seven against Thebes. The attestations place these individuals in the conventional heroic generations of Greek and Roman epic rather than presenting a shared genealogy or founding myth.

The provided sources do not supply physical descriptions or iconographic detail for any bearer of the name Clonius. Attestations record social and martial roles (captain, son of a king, companion, defender) and narrate fates (killed by named opponents) but give no information on clothing, armor, stature, or distinguishing marks.

No supernatural abilities are ascribed to any Clonius in the sources. The figures named Clonius are depicted performing martial and social roles typical of mortal heroes or warriors: one commanded nine ships as an Achaean leader from Boeotia, others accompany principal heroes (Aeneas) in battle, and one defends Thebes in the war of the Seven against Thebes. Their recorded behaviors are those of human military leaders, companions, and defenders; deaths at the hands of named opponents (Agenor, Turnus, Messapus, Tydeus) are explicitly noted.
