Chrysus

Chrysus (Greek: Χρύσος; aka Khrysos; "gold"[1]) in Greek mythology is the spirit (daimon) of gold.[2]

Chrysus is mentioned only once in Greek literature:

Khrysos (Gold) is a child of Zeus; neither moth nor rust devoureth it; but the mind of man is devoured by this supreme possession.

— Pindar, Fragment 222 (trans. Sandys) (Greek lyric 5th century BC)
