Later, all this was discovered by her brother Apollo, the sun god, who wanted to stop her sister. So one day, Apollo saw Orion floating on the sea and hunting, so he asked his sister to come to the air in this sea area. The sky is high, and Orion is like a black spot, which is unrecognizable. Apollo asked his sister to perform archery, and the target was the black spot. Al themis hit Orion with an arrow. When she came down to see her prey, she found it was her lover. Before she could say a word, Olian died.

The story of virgo

This myth first appeared in Homer's hymns and described the story about Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and forestry. Demeter, the great goddess of agriculture and forestry, the sister of Zeus, had an only daughter named Persephone, who was the goddess of spring. Mother and daughter live together, bringing rich agricultural harvest to mankind.

Zeus's brother is Hades, the keeper of hell. He has a crush on the beautiful Persephone. So one day he drove a black chariot and forcibly took Persephone away, becoming the queen of dark kingdom. Demeter found her daughter missing and wandered around anxiously just to find out her whereabouts. I don't want to farm any more, so all the fields are beginning to become barren.

Finally, it was Apollo who told Demeter the whole story from beginning to end, and Demeter, who was worried, angry and helpless, expressed his dissatisfaction in the most negative way: this was to make the earth face an unprecedented famine disaster.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Zeus sent messengers to ask Hades to release Persephone. However, Persephone, who had eaten hell food, could not leave the dark world forever, so every spring Persephone would return to the earth, and her mother would start farming again, and everything would revive. Demeter had no intention of taking charge of the farm when her daughter returned to hell. Everything is dying. So the earth has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Persephone became a Virgo.

The story of Taurus

In the third century BC, in Alexander's time, the poet Moschus wrote poems. One spring morning, Zeus was cruising when he suddenly found girls dancing and playing on the grass by the sea. Among them, Princess Europa, king of Phoenicia, was the most beautiful girl, and Zeus was deeply attracted by her.

At this time, naughty eros shot Cupid's arrow into Zeus' heart, which made him fall madly in love with Europa, so Zeus turned into a beautiful and docile white cow to approach her. The bull has a silver ring on its forehead, and its horn is in the shape of a crescent moon. It smells good and makes a wonderful sound in its mouth, which makes Europa curiously touch and ride on this huge bull.

However, this bull jumped up wildly and took Europa at full speed. When they crossed the ocean, Poseidon also appeared to clear the way for them. At this time, the frightened Europa learned the identity of the bull and asked for forgiveness.

Zeus immediately confided his love to Europa and took Europa to a strange continent. Invite the gods of the four seasons to dress up for Europa and hold a grand wedding. Soon Zeus never returned, leaving Europa alone. Later, this continent was called Europa, which is now Europe, and the image of the bull was lifted to the sky by Zeus and turned into Taurus.

The story of Aquarius

Herb, the goddess of youth, is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. Her father assigned her to serve and pour wine at the banquet of the gods in Olympus. Later, because Herb was given to Hercules by Hera Xu, the position of serving wine remained vacant, and the banquet on the holy mountain remained unattended, which broke Zeus' brain.

Later, when Zeus was cruising in the sky, he took a fancy to a handsome young Trojan prince, Ganymede, who had golden hair, white skin, red lips and white teeth. The gods also agreed that he would be a sommelier, so Zeus sent messengers to invite him; However, Ganymede is naturally fond of freedom and debauchery and refuses to promise anything.

Zeus flew into a rage when he knew it, turned into an eagle and personally caught Ganymede on Mount Olympus. Ganymede had to be a waiter when he had to, but his yearning for his hometown, relatives and freedom made him live in pain every day.

Later, Zeus, the omnipotent, sympathized with him, so that he could return to his relatives' home every January and February, and the Aquarius he used to pour wine was also lifted into the air by Zeus and became an Aquarius.

The story of Aries

The Greek king Arthur maslin married Princess Ina of the king of Thebes, but the cruel Ina wanted to murder Prince fleek Sotheby's so that his son could inherit the throne in the future.

Ina concentrated the seeds of all the grains in China, secretly cooked them and distributed them to the people. As a result, the grain could not grow naturally, which led to famine in the whole country. They colluded with the messengers of the temple and pretended that the gods were angry. They had to sacrifice Prince Frixos to quell the famine.

Finally, the king listened to Ina's trick. At the moment when the prince was sent to the altar, the angel hamish accepted the request of the prince's mother and sent a ram with golden wool and wings from the sky, which led the prince away from the altar, crossed the Daniil Strait together and landed in Keltsch, a country on the Black Sea.

To appreciate his salvation, fleek Sotheby's dedicated Aries to Zeus, the head of the gods, and golden fleece to the king of Keltsch.

This sheep is the origin of Aries now, symbolizing courage and wisdom.

The story of virgo

Demeter, the god of agriculture in charge of the grain of the earth, the mother of the earth in Greece, had a beautiful only daughter, Poseidon. She is "the most beautiful spring god". As long as she steps lightly, flowers will bloom. One day, she and her companions were picking flowers on the grass in the valley. Suddenly, Ah saw a silver daffodil, and its sweet fragrance floated in the air. Poseidon thought, this is the most beautiful thing. The beauty was radiant, so she stayed away from her companions, secretly approached and reached out to touch the flowers. Suddenly, a hole appeared in the ground, and a carriage was pulled out of the ground by two dark horses. It turned out to be Haitian, the keeper of the dungeon. He is in love with Posephona and has set a trick to take her away.

Poseidon's cry for help echoed in the valley between the oceans, and of course, it reached the ears of his mother Demeter. She was very sad!

She left the grain to be harvested and flew over Qian Shan to find her daughter.

Without Mother Earth, seeds will no longer germinate, fertile land will not produce a pile of wheat ears, and human beings will starve to death. Zeus saw this situation and only ordered Pluto to release Poseidon, but he had to obey Zeus and secretly gave Poseidon a fruit. How did Posephina know that once she ate the fruit, she would not be able to live on the earth and was doomed to return to the dark and stinking hell?

Zeus had no choice but to say, "You will spend a quarter of the year with Posephina." From then on, as long as the earth was covered with frost, Posephone went to hell again. Virgo symbolizes Posephone's beauty and purity, and the wheat raised by her mother has become something she holds in her hand.
