Cornix

Cornix is a character in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

There, she recounts how she was a princess, the daughter of Coronaeus. One day as she was walking by the seashore, Neptune saw her and attempted to seduce her. When his efforts failed he attempted rape, and Cornix fled, crying out to men and gods, and while no man heard her, "the virgin goddess feels pity for a virgin": Minerva transformed her into a crow. She also cites her resentment that her place as Minerva's servant is being taken over by Nyctimene transformed into the owl, where the transformation was punitive.
