Corsa of Cerinéia

Creatures - Animals

Cerise's doe (or Cerineia, or Cerinia), also known as cerinita deer, was a legendary animal of Greek mythology, with golden horns and brass feet, which ran with astonishing rapidity without tiring. He lived on Mount Cerineus in Arcadia, hiding in a temple of the goddess Artemis, to whom he was consecrated. In fact, the doe was the Taïgete nymph, who, to escape the persecution of Zeus was transformed by Artemis in the magnificent animal.

In one of the famous twelve works of Hercules, the king Euristeu demanded of Heracles that captures the animal. Wanting to avoid hurting the doe and displeasing the goddess, Heracles chased her untiringly for a year, through many regions of Greece and even beyond. Finally the doe, back to Arcadia, sought refuge on Mount Artemisio. Still with Hercules in its pursuit, it tried to cross the river Ladão, where it was reached by the hero. Exhausted, she was slightly wounded by an arrow that he fired.

Heracles put her on her shoulders and carried her to the kingdom of Eurystheus. On the way, however, when crossing Arcadia, Heracles encountered Artemis and Apollo, who wanted to take the animal that belonged to them, accusing him of sacrilege. Hercules explained to them that, in order to atone for the guilt of having killed their children with Mégara, he was doomed to do work for Eurystheus, whom he assigned responsibility for. In this way he persuaded them to let him carry the doe to the king's palace at Mycenae, on condition that he release her as soon as he had seen her. Moreover the hero offered atonement to Artemis to appease the remnants of his wrath.

In another version, Heracles should capture the doe, but without hurting it. He pursued her for a year, until he was able to catch her with a net, but she wounded herself in this attempt.

Píndaro also presents another version of the myth, where Heracles chases the doe northwards, through Istria to the country of the Hyperboreans, in the icy regions of the Arctic. There, Artemis welcomes them.
