Chrysothemis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In botany, Chrysothemis is a genus in the family Gesneriaceae.

In Greek mythology, Chrysothemis was a daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Unlike her sister, Electra, Chrysothemis did not protest or enact vengeance against their mother for having an affair with Aegisthus and then killing their father.

She appears in Sophocles's Electra.
