Chlorus

For the Roman emperor, see Constantius Chlorus. For the Byzantine astrologer, see Demetrios Chloros. For the Greek footballer, see Giannis Chloros.

In Greek mythology, Chlorus (Ancient Greek: Χλώρου) was the son of Pelasgus and father of Haemon, father of Thessalus.[1][2] In some accounts, however, Haemon was called the son of Pelasgus instead.[3] Haemon and Thessalus were both eponyms of Haemonia and Thessaly.
