In Greek mythology, Chryseis (/krˈsɪs/, Ancient Greek:, pronounced [kʰrysɛːís] means 'gold') may refer to the following women:

  • Chryseis, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans of the sea, Oceanus and Tethys.[1][2] Chryseis was also one of the companions, along with her sisters, of Persephone when the daughter of Demeter was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld.[3]
  • Chryseis, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[4] or by one of his many wives.[5] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[6] Chryseis with her other sisters, except for one,[7] all laid with the hero in a night,[8] a week[9] or for 50 days[10] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[11] Chryseis bore Heracles a son, Onesippus.[12]
  • Chryseis, also called Astynome,[13] a Trojan woman and daughter of Chryses.[14]
