Legend of Zombie Constellation

Cancer is also called Zombie Constellation. The ancient Greeks believed that the area formed between some cancer stars was the exit of the soul.

Legend 1

Sensitive and affectionate cancer is a symbol of motherhood, with her arms around her chest, showing the mother's nature of protecting her children.

However, in another symbolic sense, the baby in the arms represents the helpless and fragile self, and the surrounding arms illustrate the strong self-protection significance of Cancer.

A story in Greek mythology emphasizes the unique aggressiveness of Cancer.

This must start with Heuli, the son of Zeus and mortal life, and Sheila tried to kill him again and again: he was also the greatest hero in Greece and the strongest man in the world. There is nothing he can't do. Even the gods conquered the giant Terran with his help. Of course, He Wuli also made great contributions. One day, he came to the Kingdom of Messini and was about to receive a hero's welcome. However, the king was instructed by Sheila to give him a difficult problem-it was very difficult to kill hydra living in the swamp, because every time a head was cut off, countless heads would be born immediately.

He Wuli thought of a way-burning the snakehead with fire, thus easily solving eight snakehead. Seeing only one left, Sheila flew into a rage in the sky. "Did you fail again this time?" She is unwilling! So a huge crab was called from the sea to hinder He Wuli. The crab stretched out a pair of powerful crabs to hold He Wuli's feet, but everyone knew that He Wuli was the strongest person in the world! The cancer finally died under his brute force.

Sheila failed again, but she felt sorry for the desperate sacrifice of cancer. In order to appreciate the loyal mission of Cancer, even if it didn't succeed, Sheila 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. Hera, the queen of God, hates heroes very much and regards 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). It can be seen that this constellation is closely related to water, but the detailed legend has been lost.
