Extended data:

In Greek mythology, Pisces represents the incarnation of Aphrodite and eros in the water. Aphrodite turned into a fish and hid in the Nile to avoid the attack of Tifeng, the son of Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

Later, she found that she forgot to take her son eros with her, so she went ashore to find eros. In order to avoid being separated from her son, she tied their feet together, and then they turned into fish and jumped into the river. After that, Zeus lifted Aphrodite's first avatar fish into the air to become Pisces, and the two fish tied to Uroz's avatar were called Pisces.
