Alcmene (Ἀλκμήνη) is the Greek name from alkē (strength) and mēnē (moon) — "strength of the moon." The Theban princess who, deceived by Zeus disguised as her husband Amphitryon, became the mortal mother of Heracles.
Featured in Plautus's Amphitryon and Molière's adaptation.
Alcmene reduces to eight — the number of Greek strength.
