In
Greek mythology, Chrysogeneia or Chrysogenia (
Ancient Greek: Χρυσογένεια) may refer to the two different individuals:
Chrysogenia, daughter of the
river-godPeneus, and thus can be considered a
naiad. She was the mother of Thissaeus by
Zeus.[1]
Chrysogeneia, a
Minyan princess as the daughter of King
Almus of
Orchomenus.[2] She was the sister of
Chryse and mother, by the sea-god
Poseidon, of
Chryses, father of the eponym
Minyas.[3] In some myths, Minyas himself was the son of Chrysogone and Poseidon.[4] Her name which can denote “golden” expresses the traditional opinion of the Orchomenians' wealth.
