The mythology of Corvus, “The Crow”, is linked with two other constellations in its vicinity; Crater “The Cup” and Hydra “The Serpent”. Apollo was getting ready to make a sacrifice to Zeus when he sent Corvus to fetch a cup of water. When the crow got to the stream, a tasty-looking fig caught his eye. It was not yet ripe, so he decided to wait there until it was. He realized the delay would upset Apollo, so he found a snake and made up a tale about how he had been attacked by it. The god saw through the lie and banished the crow, the cup, and the serpent to the sky.
