Coronis (Greek mythology)
- Coronis (Greek mythology)
There are several characters in Greek mythology by the name Coronis (Κορωνίς, -ίδος). These include:
*Coronis ("crow" or "raven"), daughter of Phlegyas, King of the Lapiths, was one of Apollo's lovers. Pregnant with Asclepius, Coronis fell in love with Ischys, son of Elatus. A crow informed Apollo of the affair and Apollo, enraged, flung a curse upon the crow so furious that it scorched the crow's feathers, and that's why all crows are black. Apollo sent his sister, Artemis, to kill Coronis because he could not bring himself to. Apollo, feeling dejected burned her body on a funeral pyre. Hermes, very oddly, gave birth to her unborn child and gave it to the centaur Chiron to raise. Hermes then brought her soul to Tartarus.
*Coronis was the daughter of King Coronaeus of Phocis, she fled from Poseidon and was changed into a crow by Athena.
*Coronis was one of the Hyades.
