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. In some accounts, however, Haemon was called the son of Pelasgus instead. Haemon and Thessalus were both eponyms of Haemonia and Thessaly.
