In Greek mythology Philonis (Ancient Greek: Φιλωνίς) was an Attican daughter of Daedalion^[1] or of Eosphoros and Cleoboea,^[2] from Thoricus. In some accounts, King Deion of Phocus was also called the father of Philonis^[3] making her one of the Aeolids, her mother was probably Diomede, daughter of Xuthus. She was the mother of Philammon and Autolycus by Apollo and Hermes, respectively.^[4] In some accounts, the mother of Philammon was called Chione,^[5] Leuconoe,^[6] or Telauge.^[7]
