in fabulous history, was daughter of Daedalion, of whom Apollo and Mercury became enamoured. To enjoy her company, Mercury lulled her to sleep with his caduceus; and Apollo, in the night, under the form of an old woman, obtained the same favours as Mercury. From this embrace Chione became mother of Philammon and Autolycus; the former of whom, as being son of Apollo, became an excellent musician; and the latter was equally notorious for his robberies, of which his father Mercury was the patron. Chione grew so proud of her commerce with the gods, that she even preferred her beauty to that of Juno; for which impiety she was killed by the goddesses and changed into a hawk.—Another of the same name was daughter of Boreas and Ori-

thyia, who had Eumolpus by Neptune. She threw her son into the sea; but he was preserved by his father.
