Galaxy/The codex of Chryses

In Greek mythology, Chryses (Ancient Greek Χρύσης) is one of four sons of Minos and the nymph Pareia who dwell on Paros. When Heracles puts in during the quest for Hippolyte's belt, the brothers kill two of his companions; Heracles lands and slays them in return.

I.Minos' son on Paros

Apollodorus (Bibliotheca 2.5.9) and Wikipedia's Chryses (mythology) page name Chryses with Eurymedon, Nephalion, and Philolaus as sons of Minos and Pareia on Paros. During Heracles' ninth labour two of the hero's men go ashore and are killed without cause; Heracles lands and kills the four brothers.

The same disambiguation page also lists the Trojan priest of Apollo (father of Chryseis), a king of Orchomenus, a Danaid namesake, and Chryseis' later son — none of which is this Parian.

II.Homonym care

The atlas id chryses-paros is Minos' Parian son alone — not chryses-apollo (the Iliadic priest) or related Trojan nodes.
