In a particular Greek Myth, the God Apollo was in love with a beautiful young mortal woman named Coronis. He feared that she might betray him, and he sent the Raven to keep an eye on her. When the Raven discovered she was cheating on him, he flew to Apollo's temple and informed the Sun God. Since the sun was associated with fire and heat, when Apollo recieved the news, he became furious and took his anger out on the Raven, singing it's feathers black. Since then, the Raven has always symbolized ill omens and bad news. It later became associated with death.
