(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.
