Шаблон:Greek myth (aquatic nymphs)In Greek mythology, Chios (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Χίος) may refer to two possible eponyms of the island of Chios:

  • Chios, one of the Oceanids as a daughter of the Titan Oceanus possibly by his sister-wife, Tethys.[1]
  • Chios, son of Poseidon and an unnamed Chian nymph. He received his name from the heavy snowfall that occurred while his mother was in labour (cf. Ancient Greek χιών chiōn "snow").[2]

The island could as well have taken its name from the nymph Chione, or simply from the snowy weather.[3][4]
