In Greek mythology, Chrysogeneia or Chrysogenia (Ancient Greek: Χρυσογένεια) may refer to the two different individuals:

  • Chrysogenia, daughter of the river-god Peneus, and thus can be considered a naiad. She was the mother of Thissaeus by Zeus.[1]
  • Chrysogeneia, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Almus of Orchomenus.[2] She was the sister of Chryse and mother, by the sea-god Poseidon, of Chryses, father of the eponym Minyas.[3] In some myths, Minyas himself was the son of Chrysogone and Poseidon.[4] Her name which can denote “golden” expresses the traditional opinion of the Orchomenians' wealth.
