Menoetius

Menoetius or Menoetes ("doomed might") is a name that refers to three distinct beings from Greek mythology:
# Menoetius, a second generation Titan, son of Iapetus and Clymene or Asia, and a brother of Atlas, Prometheus, and Epimetheus. Menoetius was killed by Zeus with a flash of lightning in the Titanomachy and banished to Tartarus. Hesiod described Menoetius as hubristic to the very end. From what his name suggests, along with Hesiod's own account, Menoetius was perhaps the Titan god of violent anger and rash action.
# Menoetes, guard of the cattle of Hades. During Heracles' twelfth labor, which required him to steal the hound Cerberus from the Underworld, he slayed one of Hades' cattle. Menoetes, son of Ceuthonymus, challenged Heracles to a wrestling match, during which Heracles squeezes him and breaks his ribs before Persephone intervened.
# Menoetius from Opus was one of the Argonauts and a son of Actor and Aegina. He was the father of Patroclus and Myrto by either Damocrateia, Sthenele, Philomela, Polymele, or Periopis. Among the settlers of Locris, Menoetius was chiefly honored by King Opus II, son of Zeus and Protogeneia.
