The origin of the constellation, the oldest one

Legend 1

In an ancient and distant country, the king and queen divorced because of their incompatible personalities and married another woman. Unfortunately, the new queen was born jealous and couldn't stand the king's love for a pair of children left by his ex-wife, so an evil plot gradually formed in her mind. Spring has come, it is the season of sowing and farming. The new queen will send the fried wheat to unsuspecting farmers all over the country. Of course, no matter how watered and fertilized, mature wheat can't germinate. The farmer who was kept in the dark was very confused. At this time, the new queen spread rumors about wheat, claiming that wheat could not germinate because the country was cursed, and all the cursed people were because of the evil thoughts of the prince and princess, which caused the wrath of heaven and led to the punishment of the gods for the country. Hearing this, the simple-minded farmer, oh, my God! Oh, come on! Because of the evil prince and princess, the whole country will fall into the abyss of poverty and hunger. What a terrible thing! Soon, all over the country, men and women, old and young, unanimously demanded that the king must execute the prince and princess, so that the country could untie the curse, calm the wrath of heaven, reap the fruits of the people's hard work and restore the country's stability and prosperity in the past. Although the king was reluctant, in order to calm the public's anger, he had to reluctantly agree to people's demands and prepare to execute the princess and prince in order to gain the people's trust. The news reached the birth mother of the prince and princess. Of course, she was surprised and scared, so she quickly turned to Zeus for help. Zeus certainly knew that the queen had made the ghost, so he promised to help. On the day of execution, a ram with long golden hair suddenly appeared in the sky, saving the prince and his brother and sister. This ram accidentally let his sister fall into the sea and died while flying across the sea. Later, in order to reward this brave but careless ram, Zeus hung it high in the sky, which is today's Aries. Beautiful heart: the optimism of the prince and the carelessness of the princess are the biggest characteristics of Aries.

Because I can't help thinking about the princess day and night, I decided to confess to her. The beautiful princess also readily accepted Zeus' love. However, the relationship between Zeus and Europa was known by Zeus' wife Hera, which made Hera very angry! Zeus hurried to find Europa: "Dear Europa, Hera knows about us. I'm afraid it's bad for you!" " "So Zeus took Europa across the Aegean Sea and came to Crete. Zeus named this land after the princess Europa to commemorate the land of confession. That land is today's European continent. Moreover, Taurus, the incarnation of Zeus, was also included in the stars in the sky and became Taurus. The mythical story of Taurus is the only story describing romantic love in the twelve constellations. Beautiful heart: Taurus is a symbol of love and beauty.

The myth of cancer

Legend 1

The sensitive and affectionate Cancer is a symbol of motherhood, with her arms around her chest, which shows the mother's nature of protecting her children. However, in another symbolic sense, the baby in her arms represents a helpless and fragile self, and the arms around her illustrate the strong self-protection significance of cancer. A story in Greek mythology emphasizes the unique aggressiveness of Cancer. This must start with Heracles-Heracles is the son of Zeus and mortal life, and Hera tried to kill him again and again: he is also the greatest Greek hero and the strongest man in the world. There is nothing he can't do. Even the gods conquered the giant with his help. Of course, Hercules also made many contributions to the gods. One day, he came to the Kingdom of Messini and was about to receive a hero's welcome. However, Hera instructed the king to give him a difficult problem-killing hydra living in the swamp. This is very difficult, because every time a head is cut off, countless heads will be born immediately. Hera failed again, but she felt sorry for the desperate sacrifice of cancer. In order to appreciate the loyalty of cancer, even if it didn't succeed, Hera put it in the sky and became a cancer.

Legend 2

Hercules is a hero in Greek legend. He was ordered to get rid of Xu Dela, the hydra that harms people and animals. In the fierce battle, there was a crab in Xu Dela. Hercules smashed the crab shell with a big stick and died. Afterwards, Hera hated the hero very much and took Cancer in the sky as a constellation. On nights in February and March, you can see Cancer in the southern sky.

Legend 3

The legend that cancer was first born in Babylon. In Egypt, the symbol of this constellation is two turtles, sometimes called "water constellation" and sometimes called allul (an unknown aquatic creature).

In Greek mythology, it is said that Hercules, the first hero of Greece at that time, was cursed by Hera, the wife of Zeus, at birth: after his birth, he was destined to bear heavy sins and bear twelve challenges. However, Hercules was fearless and passed the test one by one.

When he grew up, Hercules' first challenge was to kill the Nimia lion and peel off its fur. But this lion is very fierce, with great strength and invulnerability. Hercules shot an arrow with divine power, but it was bounced off by its thick skin; Cut with a sword and the sword will bend. Later, he picked up a big stick and hit the lion's nose, making the lion's ears hum. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hercules put the lion's head under his arm, squeezed hard and hit hard, and finally killed the lion.

After knowing his son's heroic deeds, Zeus happily lifted the dead lion to the sky and became a Leo.

Leo ranks fifth among the twelve constellations, and the ruler is the sun. The patron saint is the predecessor of Apollo, the sun god in fairy tales. Under the protection of Apollo, the symbol of the sun and heat, people born in this constellation are lively and free, with extraordinary courage and strong self-esteem.

Hercules, the son of Zeus and Akmini, was appointed king of Yeristos. He must complete twelve arduous tasks. The first task is to subdue the immortal cannibal lion in Nemesis Valley. The lion only eats livestock and villagers, and everyone is afraid. He was subdued before, but no survivors were seen. Hercules came to Neme Valley and lost his way for many days before he found the trace of the lion. Hercules tried to shoot an arrow, but the lion's skin was too hard to work. The sword also bent, so he made a thick stick from an olive tree and hit the lion hard on the head. At this time, the lion who was not afraid of bows and swords was also afraid of the angry Hercules. Hercules strangled him and was finally repelled by him. To commemorate this lion, the goddess Hera set up a lion constellation in the sky.

Virgo origin

Myths and legends

Myth 1: Persephone is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, the goddess of harvest. One day, Persephone was picking flowers in Enna with other water/lake fairies or sea fairies (in Homer's epic, she was with Athena and Artemis), but she inadvertently left her friends. There are all kinds of flowers on the beautiful grass, but among them are daffodils, which represent the sacred flowers of hades! When Persephone went to pick the seemingly harmless daffodils, the earth cracked. Four dark horses appeared in front of Persephone, pulling Pluto's chariot. The resistance was ineffective, and Pluto easily picked up the future and disappeared into the dark country of death. Demeter was very sad after losing her daughter, and left Olympus to look for her everywhere, so everything on the earth stopped growing. Helius, the sun god, witnessed everything and told Demeter the whereabouts of Persephone. Finally, Zeus couldn't make everything on the earth barren. He asked Hades if he could give Persephone back to Demeter. He sent Hermes to pick up Persephone. But before the arrival of Hermes, Hadders designed Persephone to eat six pomegranate seeds (some say he ate three), which forced Persephone to return to the underworld for six months every year (some say he stayed in the underworld for half a year). Later, Zeus made Virgo the incarnation of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, for the sake of prudence. Myth 2: Virgo is the symbol of the goddess of justice. At the end of the golden age, human beings killed each other, and the gods gave up human beings and returned to heaven. Only she stayed on earth, but she finally had to return to heaven disappointed.

The goddess of justice has the same temperament as men, perseverance and enthusiasm; Poseidon is as deep and cold as the sea. Zeus had countless wives, so he also had countless children. Poseidon was his only brother. Poseidon was created by him and Hera with tears. Not only Zeus and Tianhou loved him, but all the gods in the temple regarded him as the apple of their eye. The goddess of justice is very independent and has her own thoughts. Humans are very clever. They gradually learned to build houses and pave roads, but at the same time they also learned to intrigue and cheat. War and evil began to spread among mankind, and many gods could not bear to live in heaven, only the goddess of justice and Poseidon remained. The goddess did not despair of mankind. She thought that human beings would wake up one day and return to the good and pure nature of the past. But Poseidon lost confidence in mankind, and he pessimistically advised the goddess to return to heaven. The goddess naturally didn't listen, so they quarreled for the first time in their lives. They argued fiercely, escalated from the issue of human nature, and finally quarreled over each other's life experiences. The goddess of justice despised Poseidon as just a pool of salt water, while Poseidon shook off the scandal of Zeus and the fact that the goddess had an illegitimate daughter. The goddess of justice was greatly insulted and found her father Zeus for trial. Hera suggested that the two men compete to see who can make mankind feel more peaceful, and whoever loses will apologize to each other. Hera was partial to Poseidon and jealous of the mother of the goddess of justice. She knows that water is the source of life, which will definitely make human beings feel peaceful. The venue is located in Tiantang Square, and Poseidon will start first. I saw Poseidon waving at the wall, and beautiful water flowed out of the gap, crystal clear, which made people feel infinitely cool and comfortable. At this time, the goddess of justice became a tree with reddish-brown trunk, green leaves and golden olives. Anyone who looks at it will feel love and peace. Poseidon smiled at the goddess, knowing that her wish had finally come true. Mankind realized the importance of peace, and the goddess and Poseidon reconciled. To commemorate this result, Zeus threw his scales into the sky, and today's Libra appeared.

On the remote ancient Greek prairie, there was a group of people who were half-man, half-beast and fierce by nature. "Half man and half beast" represents the contradiction between rationality and irrationality, human nature and animal nature, and is Sagittarius. Chilon Kay Long Xing, the only exception in Sagittarius, is also a member of Sagittarius, but he is kind by nature and is famous for being frank with his friends, so Kay Long Xing is very respected in his family. One day, Hercules, the greatest hero of Greece, came to visit his friend, the super Hercules who strangled the serpent with his hands in his childhood. When he heard that Sagittarius is also a nation that is good at making wine, he thought of alcohol, regardless. He forced his friend to steal it and let him enjoy it, otherwise he would be killed. Everyone knows that Hercules is the strongest man in the world, and even Apollo, the sun god, had to give him three points. In desperation, the centaur had to do as he said. When Hercules was intoxicated with the fragrance and sweetness of wine, the aroma of wine had permeated the whole tribe. All Sagittarius severely reprimanded Hercules, who was furious and pursued Sagittarius with a bow. Sagittarius fled to the home of Kay Long Xing, the most respected person. At this moment, Kay Long Xing heard the cry for help outside. Without thinking, he opened the door and walked out directly, at that moment. Zeus heard the screams of Sagittarius, so he lifted Kay Long Xing's body with both hands and threw it into the sky. Chilon instantly turned into several shining stars, just like Sagittarius. Since then, in memory of Kay Long Xing, this constellation has been called Sagittarius, also known as Sagittarius. Legend has it that Sagittarius is half man and half horse, with animal faces and human faces. He is a famous prophet, doctor and scholar. He was a supporter of the famous Greek heroes Jason, Achilles and Aeneas. Legend has it that he is the son of Cronus and Phila. After he was frightened, he turned himself into a horse, and his mother Philella couldn't stand her son's strange appearance, so she became a bodhi tree.

Capricorn is rigorous and introverted, as the name suggests. In Greek mythology, he was in charge of Zeus's cattle and sheep, and they all called him Paine.

Paine is so ugly that he can almost be described as ferocious. There are two horns on the head, but the part of the lower body that should be the foot is the sheep's hoof. Such an ugly appearance makes Paine, the god of agriculture and animal husbandry, very embarrassed and inferior. He can't sing with God or have sex with charming fairies. Ah! Who can understand that there is a warm heart under the ugly appearance? Day and night, he can only express his grief by blowing Xiao.

One day, the gods got together to drink and laugh loudly. Zeus, the god, knew that Paine had played a good shaw, so he asked him to play the god.

While the beautiful Xiao Sheng is flowing in the forest and Yuan Ye, and the ghosts and gods are singing in ecstasy, on the other side of the forest, a multi-headed animal with 100 eyes is screaming. The fairies turned pale and threw down their harps, turning them into butterflies. The gods don't care about the wine in their hands, some turn into flapping birds, some jump into the river and go downstream, and some simply turn into light smoke and disappear without a trace.

Paine, on the other hand, watched all the gods escape and slipped away, but still thought, "What should I do to escape?" Hesitate. Finally, he decided to become a goat and jump into a stream. But the stream he chose was too shallow to fully accommodate his huge body, so the lower body became a fishtail, while the upper body was still a goat's head.

The fish tail in the lower part symbolizes Capricorn's shyness.
