Chione (daughter of Daedalion)

This article is about the daughter of Daedalion. For other uses, see Chione (mythology).

In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, Chione (/kaɪˈoʊniː/; Ancient Greek: Χιόνη, romanized: Khiónē, lit. 'snowy'), also known in some authors as Philonis (Ancient Greek: Φιλωνίς, romanized: Philōnís), is the pretty daughter of Daedalion, who was desired by many, among them the Olympian gods Apollo and Hermes both. She bore each god a son, Philammon and Autolycus respectively. The beautiful Chione died when she gravely insulted Artemis, goddess of the hunt, who slew her with her arrows.
