Named after the queen of Lemnos. The women of Lemnos put to death all other males, but Hypsipyle saved the life of her father Thoas {see planet  (4834)}, king of Lemnos. When the Argonauts landed at Lemnos, all the women of Lemnos became pregnant. By Jason {see planet  (6063)}, Hypsipyle became the mother of twins. Jason forgot his vows of fidelity to Hypsipyle, abandoned her, and the women of Lemnos banished the queen of Nemea. (Z 132) _ _.
