What constellation is a lion called when he is angry?

Leo is a fire sign.

Leo has been established for thousands of years. It is generally believed that in ancient Egypt more than 4,000 years ago, when the sun moved to the sky of Leo in midsummer every year, a large number of lions gathered in the Nile Valley to enjoy the cool, hence the name Leo. Among the 48 constellations listed by the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy, Leo includes Leo and Ursa.

In ancient times, the sky area of Houdai nationality was associated with the hair on the lion's tail. 1602, the Danish astronomer Tycho was the first to separate Leo from Ursa in his catalog. Areas with latitudes between 82 north latitude and 57 south latitude have the opportunity to see the whole picture of Leo. Leo transits at midnight every March 1 Sunday. For mid-latitude observers in the northern hemisphere, Leo can be observed at night from the middle of winter to the end of spring, but the best observation month is April.

Myths and legends of Leo

Legend has it that the origin of Leo is related to Hercules.

Heracles is the illegitimate child of Zeus and mortals. He was born with unparalleled divine power, and Hera was jealous. When Hercules was a baby, he put two giant snakes in the cradle, hoping to kill Hercules. I didn't expect Hercules to hold them with a smile. Hercules was regarded as "the greatest hero of mankind" since he was a child.

Hera certainly won't give up killing Heracles because of one failure. She deliberately drove Heracles crazy and beat his wife. Heracles was very sad and sad when he woke up, and decided to wash away his sins through asceticism. He came to Mycenae and asked the king to send him a task. Who knows that the king got Hera's instructions, so he gave him twelve arduous tasks, which must be completed within twelve days, one of which was to kill a man-eating lion.

This lion usually lives in the forest. Hercules went to the forest to look for him, but the forest was silent. All the animals, birds, deer and squirrels were eaten by lions. When Hercules was tired of watching, he began to sleep. At this time, the man-eating lion came out of a double-hole cave. When Crixus opened his eyes, he saw that the man-eating lion was five times as big as a lion, and his body was covered with animal blood, which added a bit of horror.

Hercules shot him with an arrow first, and then hit him with a stick. It's no use. The cannibal lion was invulnerable, and finally Hercules and the lion fought hand to hand. The process was very tragic, but in the end he strangled the lion with brute force.

Although the man-eating lion died, Hera threw the man-eating lion into the air and became a Leo.
