|description=Or Halcyone, daughter of Æolus, and wife of Ceyx, who was drowned as he was journeying to consult the oracle, upon which she threw herself into the sea. Accordingly both were changed, through the mercy of the gods, into king‐fishers. The female is said to lay her eggs ''on the sea and keep it calm ''during the seven days before and seven days after the winter solstice. It has a very occult significance in ornithomancy. {{ | |description=Or Halcyone, daughter of Æolus, and wife of Ceyx, who was drowned as he was journeying to consult the oracle, upon which she threw herself into the sea.
