In Greek mythology, Chalcis or Khalkis (/ˈkælsɪs/ KAL-siss;[1] Ancient Greek: Χαλκίς) was a naiad as one of the daughters of the river-god Asopus and Metope, the river-nymph daughter of the river Ladon.
[2] Her name means "a brazen pot" from χαλκόν chalcon "bronze".
Chalcis was the sister of Pelasgus (Pelagon[3]), Ismenus, Corcyra, Salamis, Aegina, Peirene, Cleone, Thebe, Tanagra, Thespia, Asopis, Sinope, Ornea[2] and Harpina.
[4] According to others, she was the mother of the Curetes and Corybantes, the former of whom were among the earliest inhabitants of Chalcis.
[6] She may be identical with Euboea[7] or Combe,[8] daughters of Asopus in some myths.
