In
Greek mythology Philonis (
Ancient Greek: Φιλωνίς) was an
daughter of
Daedalion[Hyginus, Fabulae 200] or of Eosphoros and
Cleoboea,
[Conon, 7] from
Thoricus. In some accounts, King
Deioneus of
Phocus was also called the father of Philonis
[Hesiod, Catalogue of Women fr. 64.15–18 (Merkelbach & West, p. 41).] making her one of the Aeolids, her mother was probably
Diomede, daughter of
Xuthus. She was the mother of
Philammon and
Autolycus by
Apollo and
Hermes, respectively.
[Hesiod, Catalogue of Women fr. 64 (Merkelbach & West, p. 41).] In some accounts, the mother of Philammon was called Chione,
[Ovid, Metamorphoses 11.301] Leuconoe,
[Hyginus, Fabulae 161] or Telauge.
[Eustathius ad Homer, p. 804]
