In Greek mythology, Pero was a daughter of Neleus and Chloris, and the wife of Bias. Her sons included Areius, Leodocus and Talaus.
The story of Pero is mentioned in Book XI of Homer's Odyssey. Pero's beauty attracted many suitors, but Neleus, her father, refused to give his daughter to any man unless he could raid the cattle of Iphicles from Phylace.
Pero is also the name of a nymph who was the naiad of the springs at the source of the river Asopus in Sikyonia (southern Greece). In some versions she was the mother of the river-god Asopus by Poseidon. She was also named Kelouse (Celusa).
