Chrysothemis and Partheno

[edit]

There is no proof that Partheno was the daughter of Apollo and Chrysothemis of Naxos, that is, the wife of Staphylus. However, theoi.com states that "Khryosthemis won the first musical contest at Delphoi with a song (presumably a harvest-tune) and consorted with Apollon to produce a child." This Chrysothemis is in stated to be the son of Demeter by Pausanias. (Two males could have produced a child, since one was a god. It has happened in case of Poseidon and Nerites.) So even though there is no solid proof to state that Partheno was not the daughter of Apollo and male Chrysothemis, I think it's better to remove the sentence that she was the daughter of Chrysothemis of Naxos, and put her in a separate section.
