Aregonis appears in the mythic-historical layer of Greek tradition as the wife of Ampyx and the mother of Mopsus. The Orphic Argonautica names her as the woman who "gave birth" to Mopsus, situating her within Argonautic and Thessalian genealogies; Hyginus' Fabulae preserves a variant tradition that names the mother as Chloris, indicating textual and local variation rather than a distinct narrative origin for the figure.
No physical description or iconography of Aregonis is preserved in the cited sources; she is referenced only by name and relational role as wife and mother in genealogical summaries.
The sources attribute no independent supernatural abilities or behaviors to Aregonis herself. Her function in the tradition is genealogical and maternal: she is named as the mother of the seer Mopsus, while prophetic ability in the family is associated with Ampyx and Mopsus, not explicitly with Aregonis.
