Phlegias's Daughter, loved by Apollo; but being grown too familiar with Ischis, the Son of Elatus of Thessalia, a Raven who saw them together, acquainted Apollo with it. This rais'd his jealousie to that heighth that he slew her; and took the
Child out of her Womb, with the help of Mercurius, and called him Aesculapius, whom he committed to the care of Chiron the Centaur to be brought up, and the Raven's Feathers that were white before were changed into black, that he might mourn for ever for the death of Coronis, Apollo's Mistriss. Pin∣dar doth not mention any thing of the Ra∣ven, but says, that Apollo discovered himself the Infidelity of his Mistriss, that he slew her, and took the Child out of the womb of Coro∣nis, as they were going to burn her on a Fu∣neral Pile.
