Constellation Legend _ Constellation Legend Game

What are the myths and legends and folk stories about constellations?

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 is divided into the south and the north. The famous constellations are as follows:

No.65438 +0 constellation Ursa major-In ancient Greek mythology, this bear is the incarnation of a gentle and beautiful girl named callisto. According to legend, Crystal was loved by Zeus, the king of gods, and gave birth to her son Achatz. Hera (Zeus' wife) became jealous when she knew about it, and turned Caritos into a female bear. When Zeus knew about it, she turned Caritos into a bear and a constellation Ursa major.

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. But Achatz raised his pike to shoot, because he didn't know who his mother was. Zeus looked at it and was ready to shoot. Worried that Achatz would kill her mother and turn Achatz into a bear, they ascended to heaven together and became Ursa Major (the North Star is in Ursa Minor). Hera was very jealous when she saw it, so she went to ask her brother Poseidon for help, so that Caritos and her mother could not 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 the lion spirit was destroyed by the hero Hercules, he left with his nephew horace. 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. Zeus holds a banquet for the gods after work every day, and his daughter Herb is the one who pours wine for the gods. Later, Herb married Hercules and could not continue to pour wine, so Zeus became an eagle. A beautiful young man named Ganymede was caught and asked to pour wine. Later, Zeus lifted the eagle carrying young people into the sky and became Aquila. The myth of China is even 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 the two children in the 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 his grief was abnormal. So, he carried Jin Qin into hell, played a sad song, and finally touched the king of the land of the dead. The king agreed that he would bring his wife back to the earth, but at the same time, he could not look back at her before reaching the earth. However, when orpheus almost reached the earth, 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 pitied him and took him away.

Every star is a legend, every star is a tear, and every star is a beautiful myth.
