Chrysus
Chrysus (Ancient Greek: Χρυσός, romanized: Khrusos, lit. 'gold') in Greek mythology is a minor god and the personification of gold.
Chrysus is mentioned by Pindar:
Gold is a child of Delos father of metals; neither moth nor rust devoureth it; but the mind of man is devoured by this supreme possession.
— Pindar, Fragment 222 (trans. Sandys) (Greek lyric 5th century BC)
In his Isthmian Odes, Pindar also wrote:
Mother of the Sun, Theia of many names, for your sake men honor gold as more powerful than anything else,
Furthermore, a scholium on those lines wrote ἐκ Θείας καὶ Ὑπερίονος ὁ Ἥλιος, ἐκ δὲ Ἡλίου ὁ χρυσός, denoting a special connection of Theia, the goddess of sight and brilliance, with gold as the mother of Helios the Sun.
