Chryse

In Greek mythology, the name Chryse (Ancient Greek: Χρύση or Χρυσῆ "golden") may refer to:

Chryse, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Almus of Orchomenus and sister of Chrysogeneia. She was the lover of Ares and mother of Phlegyas.[1]
Chryse, a nymph or minor goddess of Lemnos (or of Chryse Island) who lured Philoctetes away from his companions which resulted in him being bitten by a snake.[2] Some sources state that Chryse was a local epithet of Athena, and the misfortune happened to Philoctetes next to her altar, which the snake was guarding.[3][4] The altar was said to have been set up by Jason.[5]
