July 10 constellation

10 What constellation was born in July?

In the legend of Cancer, the sensitive and affectionate Cancer is a symbol of motherhood, with her arms around her chest, which shows the mother's nature of protecting her children. However, in another symbolic sense, the baby in her arms represents a helpless and fragile self, while the arms around her show the strong self-protection significance of Cancer.

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

This must start with Heracles-Heracles is the son of Zeus and mortals, and Hera tried to kill him again and again. He is the greatest hero in Greece and the strongest man in the world. Even the gods conquered the giants with his help. 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 cancer stretched out powerful pliers to hold Hercules' feet, but everyone knew that Hercules was the strongest person in the world! Although the crab never let go of its claws, the crab 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.

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. Afterwards, Hera hated the hero very much and took 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.

The patron saint of cancer is Artemis, who represents the beauty and chastity of women, and Hera, the queen in charge of marriage and defending the family.

* Note: Hercules; Hercules and Hercules are different transliteration of the same name, with two sources: the first is the Greek name Heracles, and the last two are Hercules from Rome. I personally like the translation of Hercules. By the way, there is a one-to-one correspondence between Greek gods and Roman gods, such as Zeus for Jupiter, Hera for Juno and so on. So don't tell it together in a story.
