In
Greek mythology,
Alectryon was a Greek youth. One night, while having sex with
Aphrodite,
Ares put Alectryon by his door to guard them. He fell asleep, and
Helios, the sun, walked in on the couple. Ares turned Alectryon into a
rooster, which never forgets to announce the arrival of the sun in the morning.
