Mythology of Chios Island Mythology

A lot of myths have dealt with the name of Chios.
The older fables report that the name "Chios" came from Chioni who was a nymph, daughter of the first King of Chios Oinopiona.

Apart from Chioni, the fatherhood of Chios is claimed by another mythical person Chios, son of Ocean or Neptune, that was named because of the big amount of snow fallen during the day he was born.
