Chalciope
Chalciope (/ˌkælˈsaɪ.əpiː/; Ancient Greek: Χαλκιόπη, translit. Khalkiópē), in Greek mythology, is a name that may refer to several characters.
- Chalciope, daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, sister of Medea and wife of Phrixus, by whom she had four sons: Argus, Phrontis, Melas and Cytisorus (some authors add Presbon).[1][2][3][4] When Aeetes was dethroned and banished by his brother Perses, Chalciope expressed great filial devotion and stayed by her father's side,[5] even though he had killed her husband.[2] Hesiod referred to her as Iophossa,[6] and Pherecydes as Euenia.[7]
- Chalciope, daughter of Rhexenor (or of Chalcodon) and the second wife of Aegeas. She bore him no heirs.[8][9]
- Chalciope, daughter of Eurypylus of Cos, mother of Thessalus by Heracles.[10][11]
- Chalciope, consort of the aforementioned Thessalus, mother of his son Antiphus,[12] presumably also of Pheidippus and Nesson.[13][14]
- Chalciope or Chalcippe, daughter of Phalerus.[15]
- Chalciope, mother of the musician Linus by Apollo.[16]
