Laelaps (Mythology)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Laelaps was a Greek mythological dog who never failed to catch what he was hunting. In one version of Laelaps' origin, he was a gift from Zeus to Europa. The hound was passed down to King Minos. Minos had been cursed by his wife; he ejaculated scorpions and spiders that would devour the genitals of those he slept with. Because of this, he called Procris of Athens to his aid. When she cured him he gave her Laelaps and a javelin that never missed its target, and in some versions of the story Talos, a bronze giant.
