Thronia
In Greek mythology, the name Thronia or Thronie (Ancient Greek: Θρωνία or Θρωνίη, lit. 'of the throne'[1]) may refer to:
- Thronia, daughter of King Belus of Egypt, and the mother of Arabus, the eponym of Arabia, by Hermes.[2]
- Thronia, a Naiad nymph, mother of Abderus by Poseidon[3] and the eponym of the city Thronion in Opuntian Locris.[4] Her father was possibly the river god Nestus in Bistonia[5] and thus probably the sister of Callirhoe.[6]
