How did the constellation come from?

Constellation originated in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. The Babylonians divided the sky into many regions and called them "constellations", but at that time constellations were of little use and were rarely found and named. The constellation 12 on the ecliptic was originally used to measure time, not to express people's character as it is now.

Aquarius constellation

Genimed, the prince of Troy, is a golden boy. One day, when he was herding sheep, he was suddenly caught by an eagle transferred to Olympus by Zeus, who took the place of Princess Sybil, who married Hera chris, and was responsible for pouring wine for Zeus.

In ancient Rome, the position of the sun in the first month of this constellation was rainy season, so it was named Aquarius, also known as Aquarius.

fishes

Venus and Jupiter were once chased by the giant Di Feng. They both jumped into the Euphrates River and escaped as fish. Mineave (another name for Athena) turned fish into stars and put them in the sky to commemorate this event.

Another legend: One day, when the gods saw that the weather was fine, they held a banquet by the river. Music-loving gods happily sang and played musical instruments, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Suddenly there was a shrill cry. This is Fan Jie, a monster with a hundred snakes and big wings. The gods saw something bad and fled everywhere. Zeus became a bird, Apollo became a crow, Hera became a bull, Julius became a goat, and all the gods fled like animals. Avelot Jude, the goddess of love and beauty, and Jeros, the god of love, took her son into a fish and fled into the Euphrates River. At that time, they decided to tie their tails together with ribbons and never part, thus successfully escaping from the monster. In this way, mother and son ascended to heaven with their tails connected and never separated. This is the origin of Pisces.

Aries constellation

Nipper's son, Farex, was sentenced to death for raping Arthas. Before the execution, a golden ram held him and his sister Heller together in time. Unfortunately, my sister fell on the sheep's back because of turbulence, and Felices was rescued safely. He offered this ram as a sacrifice to Zeus, who turned its image into a constellation in the sky. Later, in order to win the wool of Golden Goat, Jason also started a wonderful and adventurous story. Aries is called Aries.

Taurus constellation

Legend has it that Zeus, the god of gods famous for his romantic style, took a fancy to Europa (which later became Europe). In order to avoid Hera's eyes and ears, she turned into a bull and carried Europa on her back, fulfilling her wish. Afterwards, Zeus changed back to his original shape and put his head like a bull in the sky, becoming one of the constellations.

Gemini

There are few legends related to Gemini in fairy tales. In Egypt, its name is Gemini, which is named after the two brightest stars in this constellation, Castor and Pollux. These two stars have two other names, namely Hercules and Apollo, Tritto Remus and Iasian. The Egyptian concept of Gemini is a young child, not a common adult image.

Cancer constellation

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). It can be seen that this constellation is closely related to water, but the detailed legend has been lost.

Le Signe du Lion

Legend has it that the symbol associated with this constellation is a lion in the Nimia Valley in Greece, which was killed by Heracles in a battle.

virgo

According to Roman mythology, Virgo, also known as the star of righteousness, is the daughter of Jupiter and Venus, who is the goddess of justice. At the end of the golden age, human beings offended her, so she returned to heaven in a rage.

libra

Legend has it that Libra was born when the balance of good and evil in the hands of a priestess in Greek mythology flew into the sky, so it is also called Libra. Around 2000 BC, this constellation was related to the trial of Babylonian religion dominating life and death, and the scales were used to measure the good and evil of the soul.

Scorpius

Hera ordered Scorpio to climb out of the dark underground and attack Orion (Di Anna's favorite hunter, who later became Orion). On another occasion, Scorpio attacked felton, who was riding a horse of the sun god, with poison gas, giving Jupiter a chance to shoot lightning to destroy the running solar car.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is a half-man, half-horse, with both animal and human characteristics, so it is also called Sagittarius, 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 Carlos and Philia and the father of Zeus. After being frightened, he turned himself into a horse, and his mother Ferria couldn't stand her son's half-man-half-horse appearance, so she became a bodhi tree.

Capricorn. Compare CAPRICORN

Pam, the son of hamish, is a demigod. Although demigods are not as good as gods, they are still superior to humans. Pan is so ugly that even his mother doesn't like him He has goat's ears and horns on his head, his upper body is hairy and his lower body is goat's posture. He likes music best and often plays the flute himself. Once, when the gods held a banquet on the banks of the Euphrates River, a monster suddenly appeared, and the gods were shocked and fled into the river in various forms. Pan also jumped into the water to take refuge, but because of excessive panic, he could not completely become a fish ... This is the origin of Capricorn. There was a fairy named Ea in Babylon, which is said to be "an antelope in the deep sea", which is quite consistent with the image of Capricorn's fish tail, so it is also called "Capricorn".
