Princess Coronis

Princess Coronis using the Roman Lady Doll maker

Princess Coronis of Thessaly. She was the daughter of King Phlegyas who ruled the Lapiths in Thessaly. But interesting enough her father was the son of Ares and Princess Chryse, so she is a granddaughter of Ares and a great granddaughter of Hera.

She and Apollo fell in love and she had 2 sons one a mortal named Melaneus who came to rule Oikhalia (Oechalia) in Thessaly and a powerful demi-god named Asklepios.

Myth says she cheated on Apollo with a mortal and she was killed for it by Artemis but the child was rescued.

Although I believe what it was is that she didn't cheat on him but the birthing of Asklepious is what killed her as his name means 'to cut open' and the child couldn't come out and she had to have a ceasarion to get the child out and it killed her. And the rumor of her cheating was spread by the man (Iskhys) who she had rejected for Apollo spread the rumor to asise himself of being rejected.

As for Melaneus he may have been Asklepius' twin and she had him normally.

Her son Melaneus had a son named Eurytes who had a daughter named Iole who denied giving her hand in marriage to Hercules.

Her son Asklepius married the goddess Epione and they had several daughters and a son.

The necklace is a betrothal gift from Apollo.

I did some rough calculations and if she had existed then she would had her sons with Apollo in 1313 BCE, and depending on her age if say I would guess around 20 or 21 then her date of birth would have been 1333 or 1334 BCE.
