Chrysus () in Greek mythology is a minor god and the personification of gold.
Chrysus is mentioned by Pindar:
In his Isthmian Odes, Pindar also wrote:
<blockquote>Mother of the Sun, Theia of many names, for your sake men honor gold as more powerful than anything else,</blockquote>
Furthermore, a scholium on those lines wrote ', denoting a special connection of Theia, the goddess of sight and brilliance, with gold as the mother of Helios the Sun.
