In Greek mythology, Menoetius (Greek: Μενοίτιος) referred to several different people: MENOETIUS (Menoitios). A son of Iapetus and Clymene or Asia, and a brother of Atlas, Prometheus and Epimetheus, was killed by Zeus with a flash of lightning, in the fight of the Titans, and banished to Tartarus. This Titan's name means "ruined strength"(Hes. Theog. 507, &c., 514; Apollod. i. 2. § 3; Schol. ad Aeschyl. Prom. 347.)
- One of Hades' shepherds on Erythea. He told Geryon when Heracles stole Geryon's herd.
- Father of Patroclus and son of Actor (Iliad, XI, 785) and Aegina. Menoetius may have been one of the Argonauts.
