In
Greek mythology,
Ischys (
Ancient Greek: Ἰσχύς) was the son of
Elatus and
Hippea, and also the lover of
Coronis. While Coronis was carrying
Apollo's child, a (then white)
crow told Apollo of the affair between Ischys and Coronis. Apollo was so angry that he glared at the crow (burning its feathers black) and asked his sister
Artemis to kill Coronis.
