Chromia Explained
In Greek mythology, Chromia (; Ancient Greek: Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Χρωμία, Khrōmía) was the daughter of Itonus, son of Amphictyon, himself son of Deucalion. She was also, in some traditions, the mother of Aetolus, Paeon, Epeius and Eurycyda by Endymion.[1] [2]
The poem Endymion, a Tale of Greece, by Henry B. Hirst (1848)[3] is a modern retelling of the legend of Endymion and Chromia.[4]
