Unsolved:Chrysothemis
From HandWiki
In Greek mythology, Chrysothemis or Khrysothemis (/krɪˈsɒθɪmɪs/; Ancient Greek:, "golden law") is a name ascribed to several female characters in Greek mythology.[1]
- Chrysothemis, daughter of Carmator and the first winner of the oldest contest held at the Pythian Games, the singing of a hymn to Apollo. She was the wife of Staphylus or a lover of Apollo.[2][3][4]
- Chrysothemis, a Hesperide pictured and named on an ancient vase together with Asterope, Hygieia and Lipara.[5]
- Chrysothemis, daughter of Danaus. She married (and killed) Asterides, son of Aegyptus.[6]
- Chrysothemis, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra.[7][8] Unlike her sister, Electra, Chrysothemis did not protest or enact vengeance against their mother for having an affair with Aegisthus and then killing their father. She appears in Sophocles's Electra.
