In Greek mythology, Kallichore is sometimes considered one of the Muses, and thus a daughter of Zeus (Jupiter); a scholion to Hesiod's Works and Days names her. She is better known, however, as one of the Nysiads, nymphs who nursed Dionysos. Both the lunar crater Kallichore and Jupiter's moon Kallichore are named after her.
