Set of mythological Greek characters
InGreek mythology, the nameChloris (/ˈklɔːrɪs/; Greek ΧλωρίςChlōrís, from χλωρόςchlōrós, meaning "greenish-yellow", "pale green", "pale", "pallid", or "fresh") appears in a variety of contexts. Some clearly refer to different characters; other stories may refer to the same Chloris, but disagree on details.
- Chloris, a nymph loved byZephyrus (West Wind).[1]
- Chloris, wife ofNeleus, king ofPylos.[2] It is, however, not always clear whether she or the below Chloris is mentioned in this role.
- Chloris, one of the Niobids.[3]
- Chloris, daughter ofOrchomenus,[4][AI-generated source?] married the seerAmpyx (son ofElatus orTitairon[5][AI-generated source?]), with whom she had a childMopsus who also became a renowned seer and would later join theArgonauts.[6][7] TheArgonautica Orphica calls her by a different name,Aregonis.[8] In some accounts, she mothered Mopsus byZeus.[9]
