I have no idea if I've said this before but either way since Hymenaeus is (from what Theoi says) said to likely be the son of Apollo and one of the muses, I feel like Erato is the closest pick as the mom— I'm mostly connecting the logical phantom prophecy dots since bridal hymns? Seems fitting I say (and because I honestly want Erato to get some rep, maybe it's the love thing)
To me it's like a TV drama where the muses got Apollo pregnant and no one knows whose baby is that/HJ One thing I love about Erato is that she Apollo and Aphrodite are all love song patrons, I totally see them raising baby Hymenaios together XD
The Muses: Erato
There are a set of asteroids named after the Greek muses, each shedding light on an area of art/creativity. Erato is the muse of desire, loveliness, erotica, lyre, lyric poetry or erotic poetry, eye candy or what "charms the sight", mimic imitation, and expressing love through art. Some interpret this asteroid as the feminine version of Eros. But I prefer to treat Eros and Erato as two completely separate interpretations without relation. (Asteroid #62)

As a fellow enjoyer of obscure myths have you ever heard of Erato the Dryad?
I looked her up and the only guy to mention her is Pausanias lol
