Extrait du document
Greek Daughter of Phlegyas, king of
the Lapiths of Thessaly; mother of Asclepius, with
the god Apollo.
Apollo fell in love with Coronis when he saw her
bathing in a lake. Coronis seemed to accept the love
of Apollo. He left a white crow to watch over her, but
Coronis then fell in love with Ischus. The crow sped
off to tell the news to Apollo, who struck the crow in
his anger and turned its white feathers to black.
Artemis, the sister of Apollo, shot her arrows at
the faithless Coronis and killed her, but Apollo managed
to snatch the infant Asclepius from the funeral
pyre. The child was brought up by the god Hermes,
or, some say, by Chiron, the gentle centaur, to
become a god of healing and medicine.
