“Older authors such as Hesiod and Pherecydes make Philonis the mother of Autolycus and Philammon, with 'Chione' first appearing in Ovid, while in Homer's Odyssey Autolycus is decisively not the son of Hermes. Chione/Philonis is a rare example of a mortal girl who has more than one divine lover”

“Renaud Gagné has proposed that this Chione is meant to be the same as Chione, the mother of Boreas' three Hyperborean sons, otherwise the daughter of Arcturus.”
