Apollo, the son of the most powerful greek God Zeus, had an important, albeit tumultuous relationship with crows. The greek word for crow, corone, comes from the name of Apollo's mistress, Coronis. According to the version of this story told by Apolodorus, although Coronis and Apollo had been lovers, she left him to marry a mortal, Ischys. The crow, then white, brought news of the marriage to Apollo who became so incensed he burned the bird's feathers and then burned Coronis to death. In other versions Coronis is herself turned into the black crow and it's possible the Greeks saw a mated pair of crows as a representation of the forbidden love between Coronis and Ischys. This may be one of the earliest stories of a woman marrying below her class for love.n.
