She was raped by a local peasant and transformed into a snow cloud by Hermes at the order of Zeus. From the clouds she cast snow (khiôn) upon the desert. The Greek word for snow (χιών chiōn) was thought to have come from her name.[1][2] References1. ^Maurus Servius Honoratus. Commentary on the Aeneid of Virgil, 4.250.
