in Grecian Mythology, daughter of Daedalion, was beloved by Apollo and Mercury, by whom she became the mother of twins, Philammon and Autolycus. The first, being the son of Apollo, excelled as a musician; while Autolyce became no less famous for those robberies of which his father Mercury was supposed to be the patron. Chione was killed by Diana because she had the arrogance to compare her beauty with that of the goddess. Chione is also called Philonis. (Ov. Met. xi. 300; Hygin. Fab. 200.) There was also another Chione, daughter of Boreas and Orithya. By Neptune she became the mother of Eumolpus, whom she threw into the sea; but Neptune saved the child.
