Mysteries and legends between the twelve constellations and their ruling stars!

Paine, the god of agriculture and animal husbandry, is ugly. He looked after Zeus's cattle and sheep day after day, but he dared not sing with the gods. He has always admired the fairy who plays the harp in the temple, but he was afraid to tell her … all because of his ugly appearance. Paine is shy and inferior, and has no magic. He is almost penniless in heaven.

No one understands the fiery heart hidden under his ugly appearance, and no one wants to go near him to listen to his moving flute. At the end of Tianhe, there is a lake that no one dares to set foot in, because its water is cursed, and anyone who steps into the river will become a fish and never come back. But Parn doesn't care. He knew that even if he was in the busiest place, no one would notice. He might as well play the flute by this lake, maybe the fairy can hear him!

One day, however, while the gods were holding a banquet, the multi-headed and multi-eyed animals in the black forest suddenly rushed into the hall! The monster roared and roared, and all the gods could not subdue it and fled. The fairy playing the harp was frightened. She just stood there, not knowing what to do. Seeing the monster coming towards the fairy, the timid Paine suddenly jumped out. He picked up the fairy and ran, followed by the monster. Paine knew that he couldn't outrun the monster at all, and suddenly remembered the lake at the end of Tianhe, so he ran desperately to the lake. Monsters also know the seriousness of the lake. It laughed at Paine's stupidity. Isn't it suicidal to run there?

But the monster never imagined that Paine stepped into the lake without hesitation. He held the fairy high in his hand and stood in the middle of the lake. The monster has no choice but to give up. After the monster left, Parn carefully moved to the shore to put down the fairy. Fairy is very grateful to pull Parn up, but Parn's lower body has become a fish! Zeus created Capricorn in his own image.

fishes

In Greek mythology, it is said that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and her beloved son eros were walking along the Euphrates River one day when they were suddenly attacked by Tifeng, a monster who disturbed the banquet of the gods, and panicked. The two men ran away like fish, but Aphrodite tied a ribbon on her tail for fear of losing each other.

Later, this shape was seen by the gods, and it became a western fish and a northern fish in the sky, and became a Pisces.

Pisces is the twelfth of the twelve constellations, and Neptune is the main star. Neptune is the sea god in Roman mythology and the great god in charge of oceans, rivers, springs and earthquakes in Greek mythology.

Aries constellation

In ancient Greece, there was a sub-Purdy country. King Atamas married the colorful fairy Nephir and gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son's name is friso and the daughter's name is Heller. The family once lived a happy life, but later King Atamas got to know the gorgeous princess Ina of Thebes, and was fascinated by her, so he drove Nephir away. Although Nieffel's children are still in the palace, they have lost their maternal love and fatherly love at the same time, and they are often abused by their stepmother Ina. After learning what happened to the children, the fairy Nephiel angrily asked Zeus to warn Purdy of the disaster. Unexpectedly, Ina took advantage of the disaster to anger the king and killed her son Felix Sotheby's to sacrifice to God.

God let Hermes know the poison of Ina, and gave Naifeier a winged Jinshan sheep to let her children ride away. The children climbed onto the sheep's back and ran away. Who knows that the girl Heller looked down in the air and was shocked. She couldn't help falling off the sheep's back and was buried in the Da Daniil Strait at the border of Europe and Asia. Golden Sheep landed with the boy friso in the Caucasus countries on the east coast of the Black Sea, and was warmly received by King Ertus.

Friso cut off the wool of Golden Sheep and presented it to King Eltes. The king hung this rare treasure on a big oak tree in the sacred forest of Ares, the god of war, and sent a poisonous dragon to guard it all the year round. This flying sheep is dedicated to Zeus, who turned it into a constellation. Because golden fleece has been cut off, it has become "Aries", the first of the zodiac.

Taurus constellation

Minos, the king of Crete in ancient Greece, begged Poseidon to give him a strong bull as a sacrifice. Sure enough, an energetic bull stepped onto the beach from the waves. Minos was dumbfounded by its shiny fur and strong body-how could such a good cow be cultivated in the world! Minos was so greedy that he kept sacred cows privately and slaughtered one of his cows to sacrifice to God. Poseidon was furious when he found out, and decided to punish the greedy king.

Soon, Queen Minos gave birth to a monster with a cow head. He is not only disgusting, but also likes to eat human flesh. Minos asked people to build a maze to imprison minotaurs, and ordered Athens under his rule to pay tribute to some boys and girls every year for minotaurs to enjoy.

A few years later, the Minotaur's atrocities finally angered a young hero, theseus, who volunteered to go to Crete as a tribute. When King Minos accepted these tribute boys and girls, his daughter Princess Ai Liya Denny secretly fell in love with theseus. She went to see the handsome young man in private. When theseus said that he had come to punish the minotaur, the princess admired him even more, gave him a sword as a weapon, and gave him a string tied to the entrance of the maze, leaving a mark for his escape.

Theseus and others entered the maze. After some fighting, they really killed the minotaur and walked out of the maze according to the way the princess taught them. Later, however, Arya Denny did not marry theseus, but married Dionysus.

Minotaur, destroyed by theseus, fell into the sky and became a prominent Taurus in the winter night. It is dishonest in the sky, staring at blood-red eyes (the main star is the first orange-red star) and rushing to Orion.

Gemini

In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini was a pair of twin brothers and their mother was a beautiful princess. Once the Lord God Zeus turned into a lovely white swan and flew down from the Milky Way to meet the princess. Later, the princess gave birth to a big goose egg. After the eggshell was broken, it was not an ugly duckling, but two lively little boys. One of them is called "casto" and the other is called "Poole Jocks".

Both younger brothers studied under Kai Long Xing, a centaur scholar, and they learned a stunt. Casto is proficient in equestrian, while Poole Jocks is good at boxing. They United and helped each other, and they all participated in countless adventures and battles, including the expedition to capture the golden retriever sheep. Later, casto was unfortunately killed, and Poole Jocks wiped out his enemies with the help of his father Zeus. Finally, the two brothers occupied a constellation in heaven. Westerners call Gemini Alpha Star (Beihe II) "casto" and Beta Star (Beihe III) "Purjo X".

Cancer constellation

In ancient Greek mythology, Hera, the wife of Zeus, was very jealous and always wanted to assassinate Heracles, Zeus' non-biological son. When Hercules was fighting with Hydra, Hera released a big crab and let it sneak up on Hercules. Suddenly, she clamped his foot with a big paw. Hercules was startled by this sudden sneak attack, but he soon woke up and smashed the crab with one punch.

Hera put the broken crab in the sky and turned it into a cancer. However, it doesn't look like a crab at all. It was painted as a lobster in early western star maps.

Le Signe du Lion

In Greek mythology, Hercules, the great hero of the Five Sages, accomplished 65,438+02 great achievements, the first of which was to kill a lion in the Nimia Valley.

When Hercules met the lion, he realized that it had invincible magical power, so that all the weapons in his hand failed. But the hero was not afraid of danger, so he quickly flashed behind the lion, grabbed it by the neck with his bare hands and strangled it alive with his divine power. Then Hercules skillfully peeled off his skin with the lion's claws, made an invincible shield and made a helmet with the lion's upper and lower jaws. Later, Zeus, the Lord God, placed a constellation for the lion.

virgo

According to legend, in ancient times, there were four seasons like spring, a pleasant climate and evergreen vegetation. Demeter, the goddess, is in charge of the world's agriculture. She appeared in the air as a Virgo.

There was a lovely daughter named Pasay Fanny, and one day she suddenly disappeared. Demeter was so anxious that he went over mountains to find his daughter. Apollo, who was patrolling the sky in a solar car, sympathized with the poor mother and told her, "Hades, the keeper of the underworld, passed by and saw your daughter's beauty, so he took her away."

The goddess Xi Nong, who lost her daughter, went into the mountains with grief and indignation, so that all flowers in the world withered, crops stopped growing and famine occurred. This situation made Zeus, the main god, feel uneasy, so he sent someone to negotiate with his brother Hades, the keeper of hades, asking him to release Pasifini. Hades refused. On the pretext that the girl ate his nine pomegranates, she forced her to live underground for nine months every year to be her own queen, and let her go back to her mother's house for the other three months.

Since then, Dmitry has only nine months to "go to work" every year, and three months to accompany his beloved daughter. So crops grow in spring, summer and autumn, and plants wither in winter. We can't see Virgo at this time.

libra

Legend has it that Estella, the goddess of justice in the sky, was ordered by Zeus, the god of heaven, to preside over human trials. After Estella came to the earth, she used the power of justice to deal with human intrigue and cannibalism, which brought a beautiful awakening to the world.

However, when Estella observed every move of human beings while upholding justice on the earth, she found that human beings did not turn to goodness because of the existence of justice, but intensified and did not repent. Seeing this situation, she decided to give mankind a punishment.

Later, Estella returned to the sky and put Libra in the sky to become a constellation, so that human beings could see Libra at night after fierce fighting during the day, and they were wary and repented. This is the origin of Libra.

Libra ranks seventh in the twelve constellations, Venus is the guardian star, Aphrodite in Greek mythology and Venus in Roman mythology are the patron saints, in charge of beauty and love, marriage and grain harvest. People born in this constellation have a high sense of beauty and attach importance to harmony and balance.

Scorpius

It is said that Poseidon's son Orion is a handsome giant and an agile hunter. But Orion's tone is too arrogant and he often curses. He said: "In this world, no prey can escape my pursuit."

What he said was heard by Hera, the queen of heaven, so she sent a big scorpion lurking on his road and attacking him. Olian, who was ambushed, was unfortunately attacked by a big scorpion. Later, the poison fell and the scorpion was crushed to death.

After Hera won, she put this meritorious scorpion in the sky and became a Scorpio.

The ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, the patron saint is Hades in Greek mythology, and Pluto, the king of Hades in Roman mythology, is in charge of life and death, soul and other things. People born in this constellation have great vitality and endless energy.

Aquarius constellation

It is said that kronos, the father of Zeus, gave birth to a child named Khyron. He was a half-man, half-horse god, and learned a lot of skills and knowledge from Apollo and themis. Therefore, Khyron is quite clever, his nature is quite kind and full of wisdom, and he is not as cruel as other gods.

It turned out that Khyron was immortal, but he died in the end. This is because Hercules was fighting other gods at that time. Because Khyron was peaceful, he withdrew from the fighting. As a result, he accidentally shot his opponent's poison arrow in the chaos, and the injury was terrible.

Khyron passed on his immortal body to Prometheus in order not to live in a painful struggle, and then he died. On the same day, Zeus was very sad when he learned about it, so he lifted Khyron's body to the sky and became Sagittarius.

Sagittarius ranks ninth among the twelve constellations, Jupiter is the guardian star, and Zeus in Greek mythology and Jupiter in Roman mythology are the patron saints. He is an omniscient, omnipotent and unrestrained god and the king of the gods. People born in this constellation are full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge about everything.
