Chesias (mythology)
Nymph in Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Chesias (Ancient Greek: Χησιὰς, romanized: Khēsiàs) was the fairest of the nymphs, described as young and noble. She was the wife of the Samian river-god Imbrasus and by him, became the mother of Ocyrhoë, the nymph loved and abducted by Apollo.[1] Both Chesia and Imbrasia were cult epithets used for the goddesses Artemis and Hera, the latter of which was the patron-deity of the island of Samos.[2]
