What other myths and legends and folk stories about constellations do you know?

First of all, it is clear that constellations are the classification of western scientists, so myths and legends and folk stories are the products of the West.

Get to the point:

Astronomers divide the sky into 88 regions according to the stars, forming 88 constellations. The zodiac divides the southern sky and the northern sky. The famous constellations are as follows:

65438 +0 constellation Ursa major-In ancient Greek mythology, this bear is the embodiment of a gentle and beautiful girl, Crystal Peach. According to legend, Crystal was loved by Zeus, the king of gods, and gave birth to her son Achatz. When Zeus' wife Hera found out, she was so jealous that she turned Caritos into a female bear. When Zeus knew about it, he turned Caritos into a big bear and a constellation Ursa major. Ursa major is one of the brightest and most important constellations in the northern sky, and the Big Dipper is there.

The second bear, Achatz, son of Caritos, spent 15 years in sorrow and pain after learning that his mother had become a big bear. When he grew up, he became a handsome and excellent hunter. One day, Achatz was hunting in the forest and was seen by his mother Caritos. She forgot that she was a bear, so she opened her arms and hugged the child. However, because Achatz didn't know which one was her mother's real body, she raised her pike and prepared to shoot. When Zeus saw it, he was worried that Achatz would kill her and turn Achatz into a bear. They ascended to heaven together and became Ursa minor (the North Star is in Ursa minor). Hera was very jealous when she saw it, so she went to her brother Poseidon for help. She wouldn't let Caritos and his mother come down from the sky to rest and drink water, nor could they go into the sea (that is, below the ground level), so the constellation Ursa Major could only hover over the North Pole forever.

Third place & amp4. Hera is not satisfied with letting Caritos and her son hover endlessly over the North Pole. She also asked a hunter to follow closely behind the big bear and the little bear with two hounds, that is, the hunter is a shepherd and the hound is a dog sign.

Ophiuchus No.5-(it is the longest and largest constellation in 88 constellations, spanning the whole day 1) Xu Dela, a water snake essence, has nine heads, which can protrude poisonous gas from nine mouths and endanger people and animals. If one of her heads is cut off, two heads will be born, which will become worse. After Hercules, the hero of the earth, destroyed the lion essence, he took his nephew horace to find the water snake essence to kill people. Every time Hercules cut off a snake head, his nephew immediately burned the wound so that the snake head could not grow, thus destroying the water snake essence. In order to commemorate the achievements of Hercules, Zeus lifted the essence of water snake to the sky and became Ophiuchus.

Eagle No.6-Eagle is an eagle carrying a teenager, flying eastward over the Milky Way. In ancient mythology, this eagle was made by Zeus. The boy on its back was brought back from the world. After every day's work, Zeus held a banquet for the gods, and his daughter Herb was the one who poured wine for the gods. Later, Herb married Hercules and could not continue to pour wine, so Zeus became an eagle and flew to Troy, where he caught a beautiful boy named Ganymede and asked him to pour wine. Later, Zeus lifted the eagle carrying the teenager into the sky and became Aquila. However, the myth of China is more beautiful, because Hegu II, the brightest alpha star in Aquila, is the Altair of China, and the two little stars around Hegu II are two children in Altair.

Lyra No.7-Lyra is a lyre, which is the treasure of singer orpheus (son of Apollo, the sun god, and Kalliope, the goddess of art). Orpheus has a beautiful golden harp and a good singing voice. His singing and piano sound can make the rock cry and stop the water. Soon, he married the beautiful Eurydice and his life was very happy. Unfortunately, Eurydice died suddenly, and orpheus was determined to take his wife back to the grave. So he walked into hell with a golden harp, played a sad tune, and finally touched the king of the underworld. The king agreed to bring his wife back to earth, but at the same time he could not look back at his wife before he arrived on earth. However, when orpheus was dying, he got carried away and looked back at his wife, so he was punished and lost his beloved wife again. Soon, orpheus also died of grief. Zeus took pity on him, lifted his golden harp to the sky and became Lila. Vega in China mythology is the main star of Lyra, Lyra α.
