In Greek mythology, Phthonus (; Ancient Greek: Φθόνος Phthónos), was the personification of jealousy and envy, In Nonnus's Dionysiaca, he is by proxy the cause of Semele's death, having informed Hera of Zeus's affair with the princess. He also appears in Callimachus's Hymn to Apollo, goading the god into an argument. Furthermore, they are both Daemons.
