achillces:mythology meme | 6 muses and/or nymphs » khioneMany different myths surround Khione, but the most common is that Khione was the daughter of Boreas, the North wind, and Oreithyia. She was a nymph, and minor goddess of snow. She was loved by Poseidon and bore him a son named, Eumolpus, but threw him out to sea because she was ashamed. Poseidon carried the child safe to shore, and the child was raised by one of his daughters. Some say that she was so vain on account of her beauty that she challenged Artemis. Artemis became furious and killed Khione with an arrow. -- source link
