Chalciope

"With the brass voice." The daughter of Aeëtes, and wife of Phrixus. She supposedly persuaded Medea to help Jason because her four sons were rescued by the Argonauts after they were shipwrecked. Her sons are Argus, Cytisorus, Melas, and Phrontis. Hyginus refers to Cytisorus as Cylindrus.
