Chrysogeneia

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