The Hind of Keryneia as met by Kassandra

The Hind of Keryneia was a legendary deer who inhabited a marshy area within Artemision Point in Euboea, Greece during the 5th century BCE.

History

Myth

In Greek mythology, the Keryneian Hind was a large hind sacred to Artemis that lived in Keryneia in Achaia, Greece. The Greek hero Herakles captured the hind as the third of his twelve labours.^[1]

5th century BCE

During the Peloponnesian War the majestic deer was revered by the Daughters of Artemis. Their leader at the time, Daphnae, considered the deer to be part of a series of trials or tests: "beasts that roam this world but are not fully of it." Because of this, she tasked the Spartan misthios Kassandra to hunt down the Hind among other such beasts of legend. As proof of her success, Kassandra took the Hind's pelt back to Daphnae in Phokis.^[2]
