Which constellation is related to Zeus?

People know the starry sky, know the starry sky, and name the obvious stars in the sky, all from ancient times. Consciously group the stars, pay special attention to the stars near the ecliptic, of course, it needs to be later. But the two river basins were formed long ago. The myth of star combination that has already appeared will happen after the star combination.

In the distant two river basins, there are already constellations, of course, there are also constellations named, and correspondingly, there are also attached myths and legends. Forgetting the adventures of the twelve constellations is the way. So how can Greek mythology be the ultimate reason? Of course, this naming, myth and image of constellations will continue to evolve in the process of circulation.

When ancient Greece accepted this system, it incorporated some of its own things, changed some of its contents, and fabricated some of its contents, resulting in the so-called constellation myth in ancient Greece. As a matter of fact, Greece accepted what was changed hands through Egypt. Egypt has been localized once, incorporating some Egyptian elements, and some contents have been transformed and fabricated.

Greek mythology is the result of the relatively late spread of constellations, not the cause. No father and son have surnames in the world. Taking the ancient Greek mythology as the standard directly is an isolated, static and one-sided view of the problem. This should be learned in philosophy.

Aries is actually a dim constellation with no bright stars. The brightest star is called Hamal, which means sheep head. China's name is Lou Susan, and the apparent magnitude is 2.0, which is not very bright. However, Venus is in Aries recently and can crush other constellations all day. . . The name Aries comes from the story of golden fleece in ancient Greek mythology. In a certain country (probably located in the southwest of Greece, because I was confused at that time and didn't understand the relationship between the three place names Tessali, Minos and Pioxia), King Atamas and the cloud goddess Nefeller had a son and a daughter, namely Prince friso and Princess Heller. Later, like all dog blood stories, Atamas moved on and fell in love with enoch. Nefeller left angrily, and the drought came to the country. Then the kind stepmother enoch began to murder his stepson and stepdaughter. . . The specific killing situation is different. In most versions, she told Atamas that sacrificing Prince friso to God was the only way to stop the drought. At this time, Nefeller came to save her child-then the protagonist appeared-and Nefeller brought a golden sheep with wings. This golden sheep is also well-founded-it was born by Poseidon, the sea god, and Poseidon had copulation with the fairy Theophany when he was still a sheep. Then Frissos and Heller ran away on the golden sheep, but in the process of running away, Heller fell off the sheep, and the sea she fell into was named Heller Sea (now renamed as the strait connecting the Aegean Sea and Malahi, which is part of the Istanbul Strait). Then friso successfully fled to Korkas (now Georgia) and was welcomed by King Ides. Then friso killed the golden sheep and presented it to Poseidon, the sea god. Sheep were raised to the sky and became Aries. . .

In fact, this sheep left a more famous story, which is the love-hate relationship between Jason and Medea. Friso gave golden fleece of a golden goat to Aedes as a gift, and then everyone knew the story of Argo. This is another story.

There is a bright star in Taurus. In the picture, Aldebaran (from Arabic, meaning follower) and China's name is Bi Su Wu. At present, the story of Taurus in Greek mythology should (because there are different opinions, which will be mentioned later) come from the story of Europa girl. Well, that's right, it's the Europa girl. . . Europa was a princess of Phoenicia, and she was very beautiful (at this time, you can pile up various adjectives to describe the beauty of this girl), and then Zeus, as a romantic, began to play tricks on her (anyway, Zeus has been seducing girls in various ways in the whole Greek mythology). In order to seduce her, Zeus turned himself into a strong white cow and then mixed with Europa's father's herd. Then Princess Europa and her female companion saw the white bull when they were picking flowers in the herd, and then they stroked the cow, and then (omitted 10000 words) they rode on the back of the cow in a daze. Then Zeus seized the opportunity to carry her off the sea and swam all the way to Crete, where he exposed his identity to her and finally succeeded in realizing his wish (where is my moral integrity? )。 Europa became the first queen of Crete, and the mainland under her feet was named after her (actually Crete is not in the European continent, and I don't know how the great ancestors of ancient Greece made up stories). Zeus then shaped a constellation in the sky according to the shape of the white cow, which was called Taurus. . .

I believe the names of the first two constellations can be seen at least. Actually, it should be called Taurus and Taurus. . .

There is another saying about the name of Taurus, which is related to another sister IO seduced by Zeus. After Io was seduced by Zeus, she turned Io into a heifer in order not to let Hera find out. I won't say more about the specific plot. In some versions, Taurus was changed after Io took off, but this version of Europa is more recognizable. Today, Jupiter in the solar system is named after Zeus (Jupiter, his name in Rome). Among them, Jupiter's two larger moons, Io and Europa, were named Io and Europa respectively. There should be other versions of the story, but I don't know?

Gemini is one of the easily recognizable constellations in the zodiac, because Gemini has two bright stars. . . These two stars are both in the picture. They are called kastor (North River II) and Poldyux (North River III). These goods are Gemini twins. Their stories are quite rich and wonderful. The story begins with dear Mr. Zeus. This time, he took a fancy to Rita, the queen of Sparta, and then turned into a swan to seduce her, and then successfully realized his wish (forgive me for running away from home). Rita then had sexual intercourse with her husband, and finally gave birth to two pairs of twins, one of whom was the child of the Spartan king, namely Caster and Clytaemestra; The other pair is Zeus' children, that is, Portius and the famous beauty Helen (the person who caused the Trojan War). So according to the setting of this story, Custer is a descendant of human beings, so he will die (nonsense), but Bordeaux is a descendant of God, so he is immortal. Caster and Portius grew up to be very close brothers. They are all Argo's heroes (yes, Jason went to find golden fleece's boat), and they also played once to save Helen and take her back from King theseus of Athens. There are many stories about them. Here is only a short story related to Gemini: that is, the two sons of the brother of the Spartan king (that is, their cousin Caster), the fiancé es of Linkos and Iddas, were abducted to Crete by Caster and Bohr dukes, and then each gave birth to a son. Later, Linkos and Iddas took Caster and Bohr dukes out surfing. They robbed the herdsmen's cattle, and then when dividing the beef, Linkos and Iddas designed to humiliate them both. The two of them planned revenge, and the chance of revenge was that when Lincos and Iddas came to Sparta to visit their uncle, they took the opportunity to let Lincos and Iddas's cows run away. The result was discovered, so they fought. As a result, Iddas stabbed kastor with a spear, and Bohr dukes killed Lincos. Just as Iddas was about to kill Bohr Dacres, Zeus hacked Iddas to death to save his son. . . Then Bordeaux was very sad because Caster died, so he asked Zeus to give Caster half his immortal life. So Zeus lifted them to the sky and turned them into Gemini. The two brightest stars in Gemini were named after them.

There are many tidbits in this story. For example, Lincks had an excellent eye for story setting, and it was seeing the twins let their cows go that triggered the fight between the two brothers. Later, astronomers named the constellation where the gap between Ursa major and Auriga is located as Linkos, saying that because this constellation is extremely dim, only people with vision like Linkos can see it. Well, the climax is the Chinese translation of this constellation called Tmall. . . Now it seems that Ma Yun is really far-sighted (Linkos, Lynx, meaning animals like lynx). . . For example, when Linkos and Iddas came to Sparta, Helen and Paris, Prince of Troy, were also in Sparta. It was because the two of them went out to play practical jokes that Paris had a chance to refuse Helen, which led to the Trojan War. . .
