Chione (daughter of Arcturus)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
In Greek mythology, Chione was a consort of Boreas. The account of Pseudo-Plutarch makes her a daughter of Arcturus; she is said to have been abducted by Boreas and brought by him to Mount Niphantes, where she bore him a son Hyrpax, who later inherited the throne of King Heniochus; the mountain was said to have been called "The Bed of Boreas" from that circumstance.[1] The name of Hyrpax is otherwise unknown, but Aelian mentions Boreas and Chione as the parents of three Hyperborean priests of Apollo;[2] according to Diodorus Siculus, a whole dynasty of Hyperborean kings and priests claimed descent from Boreas.[3]
