There exist several interpretations of this name among mythologists. After Pausanias, Coronis was the mother of Aesculapius by Apollo {see, respectively, planets  (1027) and  (1862)}. Coronis is also the name of a Hyades member, originally a nymph, daughter of Atlas and the Oceanid Aethra {see planet  (132)}. (H 20; LDS) _ _.
