Clytie changed into a bloodless plant

KLYTIE (Clytie) was an Okeanid-nymph loved by sun-god Helios. When he forsook her for the love of Leukothoe (Leucothea), she pined away and was transformed into the sun-gazing heliotrope flower.

 

Klytie was probably identified with Klymene (Clymene), the Okeanid mother of Phaethon by Helios. Both of their names mean "Famed One."
