The Story of Constellation: The Legend of Gemini and Cancer

Gemini (5.22~6.2 1)

Zeus turned into an elegant swan to fly in the air in order to get close to Rita, the princess of King Ding Dalei of Sparta. Rita was attracted by the swan, so she played with him and got pregnant. Soon Princess Rita gave birth to many lovely children, including two brothers. They were not only very close, but also almost identical in appearance, which made people think they were twins. In fact, among the two brothers, the elder brother is the son of Princess Rita and Zeus, and the younger brother is born to King basta. They are half-brothers. The elder brother is a "god" and has eternal life. The younger brother is an ordinary person. One day, Greece was attacked by a huge wild boar, and the princes called many warriors to chase the wild boar. When the wild boar was successfully solved, the warriors forged hatred for each other because of their struggle for merit. In a busy market, warriors who look at each other unpleasantly meet unexpectedly, and of course there is a quarrel. In the quarrel, someone started fighting, so the scene got out of control, and many people were injured or even killed in this fight. Unfortunately, the younger brothers of the two princes also died in this chaos. My brother, who has been very good with this brother, can't accept the news of his death. He kept crying with his body in his arms, hoping that his brother would come back to life and let them enjoy the happy days of brotherhood together.

So, my brother returned to heaven and asked his father Zeus to save his brother. However, Zeus told him that his younger brother was just an ordinary man and had already died. If he really wants to resurrect his brother, he has to spend the rest of his life with him. Of course, this affectionate brother immediately agreed without hesitation. From then on, the two brothers can live happily together again. Zeus was deeply moved and placed them in the sky, becoming a Gemini and never parting. From dusk to night in winter, you can see it at the zenith.

Cancer (6.22~7.22)

This starts with Hercules, the son of Zeus and other mortals. Hera 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 with his help. Of course, Hercules also made great contributions to the gods. One day, he came to the Kingdom of Messini and was about to receive a hero's welcome. However, Hera instructed the king to give him a difficult problem, killing hydra who lived in the swamp. This is very difficult, because every time a head is cut off, countless heads will be born immediately.

Hercules figured out a way to burn snakeheads, so he easily solved eight snakeheads. Seeing only one left, Hera 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 stop Hercules, and the crab stretched out a pair of powerful crabs to hold Hercules' feet, but everyone knew that Hercules was the strongest person in the world! The cancer finally died under his brute force. Hera failed again, but she felt sorry for the desperate sacrifice of cancer. In order to appreciate the loyalty of cancer, even if it didn't succeed, Hera put it in the sky and became a cancer.
