The origin of giant's name

The reason why Cancer is called Cancer is related to Hera, a goddess in Greek mythology. In the era of Olympian gods, Zeus was the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, and Hera was his brother. Zeus gave birth to a son, Hercules, with Akmeni, an earthly girl. Later, he married Princess Derby, gave birth to a son and lived a happy life.

Due to Zeus' curse on Hera, Heracles himself prepared to commit suicide. In order to make him atone, Zeus was appointed king of Jeristos, and he had to go through twelve adventures, the second of which was to subdue the monster Sidorah who lived in the swamp.

Sedola is a giant snake with only nine heads, hiding in a cave near the swamp. Hercules threw a torch at it, and the enraged Sedola attacked it with poison gas. Cancer, who lives in the swamp, saw Sedola's painful struggle and jumped out to bite Hercules' foot. As a result, cancer was shattered and Sedola was subdued. Hera set up cancer in the sky because she was sad about its death.
