Discovered 1876 Jan. 4 by V. Knorre at Berlin.
There exist several interpretations of this name among mythologists. After Pausanias, Coronis was the mother of Aesculapius by Apollo {see, respectively, planets (1027) and (1862)}. Coronis is also the name of a Hyades member, originally a nymph, daughter of Atlas and the Oceanid Aethra {see planet (132)}. (H 20; LDS)
Named by Dr. Maywald.
