In Greek mythology, Ischys was the son of Elatus and Hippea, and also the lover of Coronis. While Coronis was carrying Apollo's child, a white bird called a crow told Apollo (or possibly Artemis) of the affair between Ischys and Coronis. Apollo was so angry that he first turned the crow's feathers black and then killed Ischys.
