Myths and legends about Sagittarius and its patron saint

The ruler of Sagittarius is Zeus in Greek mythology, the master of the universe and the all-knowing and all-powerful king of the gods.

On the remote ancient Greek prairie, there was a group of people who were half-man, half-beast and fierce by nature. "Half man and half beast" represents the contradiction between rationality and irrationality, human nature and animal nature, which is Sagittarius.

The only exception in Sagittarius-Chilon. Although Chilon is also a member of Sagittarius, he is kind in nature and is famous for his frankness in treating his friends, so Chilon is highly respected in the tribe. One day, Hercules, the greatest hero of Greece, came to visit his friend, the super Hercules who strangled the serpent with his hands when he was a child. When he heard that Sagittarius is also a nation that is good at brewing, he thought of alcohol, whether it belongs to Sagittarius or not. Otherwise, he will be killed. Everyone knows that Qiu Li is the strongest man in the world, and even Apollo, the sun god, wants him to score three points. In desperation, this Sagittarius has to do what he wants.

When He Qiuli was intoxicated with the sweet fragrance, the aroma of wine had permeated the whole tribe. Sagittarius sternly rebuked He Qiuli, who was furious and pursued Sagittarius with a bow. Sagittarius fled to the home of Chilon, the most respected person. At this moment, Chilon heard the cry for help outside. Without thinking, he opened the door and walked out directly, at that moment.

Zeus heard the screams of Sagittarius, so he lifted Chilon's body with both hands and threw it into the sky. Chilon instantly turned into several shining stars, and his body was like Sagittarius. Since then, this constellation has been called Sagittarius in memory of Chilon.
