Short Story Of Corvus

Improved Essays
Apollo woke up one fine morning in his Palace and noticed he had run out of water. He wished to fill his new goblet with the world’s best water in Athens, just a few miles from Mount Olympus. “Corvus,” Apollo called out to Corvus, “go and fetch water with my new goblet and return promptly!” “Yes, Apollo.” “Exceptionally then, the royal residence is dehydrated, this fine water will help.” Corvus flew out far to complete the task, however, she, formerly known as Coronis, had different plans to meet with her secret lover, Ischys, who was transformed into a white raven by Artemis along with herself. Shortly, Corvus arrived in Athens and perched herself on a tree limb. Only a few miles away from the water crater waiting anxiously. At last, she observed his white wings flying towards her, her eyes met her lover’s and her wings started to flutter in foresight; to hold him once again after Apollo entirely restricted them not to. …show more content…
Chest to chest, she could feel his protruding pulse against hers; romanticizing, she never wants it to end. “I miss you,” she smiled neatly from ear to ear “Has Artemis sent you for the same reason?” “Yes, and I reckoned you be here my love,” he answered. Ischys took Coronis to fly to the fig tree to sustain themselves and drink water from the crater that remains near the Olympus Mountain. They flew out to the sky together. They felt utterly defiant like they were flying from something or someone to be alone, forever. Forever. She looks at him and all she can see is forever. Forever radiant in his gaze and him in

    Comparison of the Homeric Hymn to Apollo with Callimachus’ Hymn to Apollo reveals that Callimachus’ myth was composed centuries later. Although a writer may be directly influenced by previous writers’ accounts of the same myth, it is evident that Callimachus was not so influenced by the Homeric Hymn to Apollo in this work. Callimachus’ work’s difference in detail and length, mismatching etiologies, and lack of plot similarities all indicate an absence of a direct connection. Callimachus, an author of a later time, composes a Hymn to Apollo that is quite different from the Homeric version. One of the main differences is the difference in length with Callimachus’ version being substantially shorter.…
