In Greek mythology, Callichore or Kallichore (Template:Lang-grc-x-classic) is sometimes considered one of the Muses, and thus a daughter of Zeus (Jupiter); a scholion to Hesiod's Works and Days by John Tzetzes names her.[1][2] She is better known, however, as one of the Nysiads, nymphs who nursed Dionysus from Book 14 of the Dionysiaca by Nonnus.[3] Both the lunar crater Kallichore and Jupiter's moon Kallichore are named after her.
