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.

Chloris's festival, [[Floralia]], was celebrated on [[April 28]] to [[May 1]] until the [[4th century]].
