Thronia

In Greek mythology, the name Thronia (Ancient Greek: Θρωνία) or Thronie (Θρωνίη) may refer to:

* Thronia, daughter of King Belus of Egypt, and the mother of Arabus, the eponym of Arabia, by Hermes.[1]
* Thronia, a Naiad nymph, mother of Abderus by Poseidon[2] and the eponym of the city Thronion in Opuntian Locris.[3] Her father was possibly the river god Nestus in Bistonia[4] and thus probably the sister of Callirhoe.[5]
