, the Raven, a southern constellation, fabled by the Greeks, as taken up to heaven by Apollo, to whom it tattled that the beautiful maid Coronis, the daughter of Phlegeos, and mother of Esculapius by Apollo, played the deity false with Ischys, under a tree upon which the animal happened to be perched.
The stars in this constellation, in Ptolomy's and Tycho's catalogues are 7; but in the Britannic catalogue, 9.
