Constellation myth

Virgo is the incarnation of Dyke, the goddess of justice.

It is said that when Cronus ruled Mount Olympus, mankind was in its golden age, when Dyke was still living on the earth. It was a peaceful and happy era. It was spring all year round. There was no winter and summer, and there was no land plowed out of the valley. Human beings lived forever. Man's life is like a god. He doesn't know what is work, what is sadness, what is crime and what is war. Dyke roamed the world, spreading wisdom and justice.

Later, Zeus overthrew his father Cronus on Mount Olympus and entered the silver age. Compared with the golden age that just passed, the silver age is inferior. Zeus shortened spring and the four seasons began to change. People in this era have become quarrelsome and no longer worship God. Dyke yearns for a leisurely and quiet past.

She summoned human beings, severely reprimanded them for abandoning the ideals of their ancestors, and warned: "Worse is coming". Then Dyke spread his wings and flew into the mountains, ignoring the world. In the end, with the arrival of the Bronze Age and the Black Iron Age, people became more and more depraved and liked violence, theft and war.

At this point, Dyke could no longer tolerate human sins, left the earth, flew into the sky, and sat next to Libra until today. Some people regard Libra as the balance of justice.
