No later ancient mythographer has left us more information about Chloris herself than Homer tells; she was the mother by Neleus of twelve sons, one a miraculous person who was, however, slain by Herakles together with all but one - the youngest - of his brothers, Nestor: this part of Chloris’ story is in the file about Tyro.
The tale about Pero, Bias, and Melampous which Homer annexes to his mention of Chloris is told too sketchily to be very intelligible to others than his own listeners, whom he might have expected to know it well enough independently of what he was telling them about Odysseus. Later mythographers have filled in the missing pieces of the narrative; see a composite of their reports in the file about the Argive prophet Melampous.
