It's Nimrod, Jean. It is the name of a hunter from Edward Elgar's composition The Enigma Variations. Dean, nice one. I was completely stumped

I should have known that; since I am both familiar with Elgar and with Greek mythology Embarrassed

I wasn't posting here yet, but I'm lurking the thread from the beginning. A great game!

Next riddle, please! Anyone?

No, wrong. Clue: Have a look at the "in a tower room of a room". A room of a room - strange.
And I'll give another clue: He was mad for the last 36 years of his life.

No, still wrong. I'll give another clue: His main work is about a Greek Titan's letters to his lover and his good friend. The name of the good friend even means "Good Friend" (or rather "beautiful friend") and resembles the title of a German movie from 1939. The title of that movie is NOT in German, but means "beautiful friend" in another language.

I retract the question mark. Hoelderlin was mad for the last 36 years of his life, lived in an attic and wrote "Hyperion".
 
The new riddle -- circumnavigator with a relative of his implement.

Magellan - but he didn't circumnavigate the globe and it doesn't fit the rest of the clue, so I go for ... Mandrake

Neither Magellan nor Mandrake is (are???) a correct answer. (Mandrake stands for Francis Drake, I presume?)
