Unchanged by any teller — how the centuries since have seen Chione.
The gallery
The Death of Chione
Nicolas Poussin, c. 1622
Poussin stages Artemis' arrow through Chione's tongue — Daedalion's daughter punished for ranking her beauty above the goddess. Not Chione daughter of Boreas.
Diana Killing Chione
Antonio Tempesta, 1606
Tempesta's Metamorphoses plate: Diana's arrow strikes Chione while Autolycus and Philammon look on — the twin sons Apollo and Hermes fathered the same night.
Artemis and Chione
Giulio Carpioni, c. 1660s
Carpioni's Blanton canvas pairs the huntress with her victim — Chione of Daedalion's house as Venetian Baroque myth.
Chione Killed on the Hunt by Offended Diana
Ludvig Abelin Schou, 1866
Schou's Danish history-painting restages Ovid: Chione fallen under Diana's anger — the blasphemy that drives Daedalion toward the hawk.
Apollo and Mercury Visit Chione
Unknown (Ovid Metamorphoses series), 17th–18th century
Print of the double visitation: Apollo and Hermes both claim Chione in one night — Philammon and Autolycus as her twin divine gifts before Diana's arrow.
In play
Metamorphoses
Ovid
Book 11: Chione boasts against Diana, is shot through the tongue, and Daedalion leaps from Parnassus — her death the hinge of the hawk metamorphosis.
Chione (daughter of Daedalion)
Daughter of Daedalion; mother of Autolycus by Hermes and Philammon by Apollo — not Chione daughter of Boreas.
