Chlorus

Greek mythological figure

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.
