The account of
Pseudo-Plutarch makes her a daughter of Arcturus; she is said to have been abducted by Boreas and brought by him to Mount Niphantes, where she gave birth to their son Hyrpax, who later inherited the throne of King Heniochus; the mountain was said to have been called "The Bed of Boreas" from that circumstance. The name of Hyrpax is otherwise unknown, but
Aelian mentions Boreas and Chione as the parents of three
Hyperborean priests of
Apollo; according to
Diodorus Siculus, a whole dynasty of Hyperborean kings and priests claimed descent from Boreas. == Interpretation ==
