(Lelaps, Lalaps) Greek A hound that
could catch whatever he chased. The god Zeus gave
the dog to the Nymph Procris, who then gave him
to her husband, Cephalus, the hunter. Cephalus
inadvertently killed Procris. Laelaps lay forlorn at the
feet of the slain nymph. Laelaps was later sent out to
hunt the Teumessian fox, which had been destined
by the goddess Hera never to be caught. To end the
seemingly impossible, unsolvable chase, Zeus turned
both animals to stone.
