:''This article is about "Chloris" in Greek Mythology. For the [[genus]] of tufted grasses in the [[Poaceae]] family, also known as "Finger grass" and "Windmill grass", see [[Chloris (plant)]]. In [[zoology]], it is the name of the [[subgenus]] or genus of the [[greenfinch]]es''

I was Chloris, who am now called Flora." [[Ovid]]]]
There are many stories in [[Greek mythology]] about figures named '''Chloris''' ("Khloris" or χλωρις, from "Khloros" or χλωρος, meaning "greenish-yellow," "pale green," "pale," "pallid" or "fresh"). Some clearly refer to different characters; other stories may refer to the same Chloris, but disagree on details.
==Chloris (Nymph)==
Chloris was a [[Nymph]] associated with spring, flowers and new growth. Her [[Roman mythology|Roman]] equivalent was the goddess [[Flora (goddess)|Flora]]. She was abducted by (and later married to) [[Zephyrus]], the west wind, who gave her dominion over spring. Together they had a son, [[Karpos|Carpus]]. Carpus means "fruit" in Ancient Greek, and the natural metaphor formed by the three can be seen in the following quote: "Zephyros... the personification of the West Wind which brings with it freshness and rain in the spring. He would unite with Chloris, goddess of the new vegetation, from which sprout the fresh fruits of the soil."<ref>Kyriazis, Constantine D. ''Eternal Greece.'' Translated by Harry T. Hionides. A Chat Publication.</ref>
Chloris's festival, [[Floralia]], was celebrated on [[April 28]] to [[May 1]] until the [[4th century]].
==Chloris (Meliboea)==
[[Meliboea]] was one of [[Niobe]] and [[Amphion]]'s fourteen children (the Niobids), and the only one (or one of the few) spared when [[Artemis]] and [[Apollo]] killed the Niobids in retribution for Niobe's insult to their mother [[Leto]], bragging that she had many children and Leto had only two. Meliboea was so frightened by the ordeal, she turned permanently pale, changing her name to Chloris ("pale one"). This Chloris is referred to in [[Homer]]'s [[Odyssey]] (book 11, lines 281-296).
She was later to marry to [[Neleus]] and become queen in [[Pylos]]. They had several sons including [[Nestor (mythology)|Nestor]], [[Alastor]] and [[Chromius]] and a daughter [[Pero]]. Chloris also had a son, [[Poriclymenus]] while married to Neleus, though by some accounts Poriclymenus's father was [[Poseidon]] (who was himself Neleus's father). Poseidon gave Poriclymenus the ability to transform into any animal. Other children include [[Taurus]], [[Asterius]], [[Pylaon]], [[Deimachus]], [[Eurybius]], [[Phrasius]], [[Eurymenes]], [[Evagoras]] and [[Epilaus]].
[[Odysseus]] is said to have encountered Chloris on his journey to [[Hades]] ([[Homer]]'s [[Odyssey]], 11, 281ff).
