Ischys


In Greek mythology, Ischys was the son of Elatus and Hippea. He had an affair with the Thessalian princess Coronis, one of Apollo's lovers, who was at that time pregnant with the god's child. When a raven told Apollo of the affair between Ischys and Coronis, he became so angry that his intense glare scorched the raven black. His twin sister Artemis killed Coronis as a punishment, but the unborn child was saved at the last minute by Apollo who felt remorse for causing his lover's death. Ischys was then killed by Zeus or Apollo himself.
The mortal lover of Coronis was also known as Alcyoneus or Lycus.
