Chrysonoe was given in marriage to Proteus by her father Cleitus after the
Egyptian foreigner came to
Thrace and became his friend. Chrysonoe's sons had the habit of guest-slaying which forced Proteus to pray for his father
Poseidon to carry him back to Egypt away from them. Torone's sons were ultimately killed by
Heracles when they challenged the hero to wrestle them. The city of
Torone in
Sithonia was named after her. == Notes ==
