Take you to understand the Western myth behind the 12 constellations
Aries
Felix Sox was originally the prince of tieshalia, but because he avoided the killing of his stepmother, he fled with his sister on the golden wool sheep that could fly in the sky given by the god Zeus. On the way, Felix Sox's sister accidentally fell into the sea and died, while he himself safely arrived in the country east of the Black Sea and was sheltered by the local king ayeties. In order to repay the kindness of saving lives, fucrisos stripped the fur of the golden sheep and presented it to King ayeties. King ayeties then hung the fur in the trees of the forest and let a dragon who never sleeps guard it. Aries is the constellation that commemorates this golden sheep!
Taurus
Near today's Lebanon, a country called Phoenicia once flourished. Europa was the beautiful daughter of Phoenician king. One day, when Europa was playing in the pasture by the sea, a white cow came out of nowhere and asked Europa to swim with it. Europa sat on the bull's back, and the bull swam towards the sea. The white cow turned out to be the incarnation of Zeus. Because Zeus liked Europa, he turned into a white cow and lured Europa to him. The two landed on Crete. Europa was deeply loved by Zeus. It is said that he later gave birth to three children. Today's Europe is said to come from the name of Europa. As for Taurus, it commemorates the white bull.
Gemini
About the twin brothers, it is said that Zeus, the God of heaven, turned into a swan and was born to Rita. After the two brothers grew up, my brother became a master of equestrian, while my brother was unmatched in the boxing industry and had done many adventures. However, due to a battle, his brother died on the battlefield. In order to live with his brother, he asked Zeus to remove his magic that he would not die, so his brother was also taken to heaven and became a constellation.
Cancer
It is said that when Hercules fought with sidora, crabs clamped Hercules with their crab feet in order to save their good friend sidora. Unexpectedly, they were trampled to death. But the goddess Hera sympathized with the kind and poor crab and let it go to heaven and become a constellation, cancer.
leo
In Greek mythology, the lion lived in the forest of Nemea, but it was not an ordinary lion. It could be called an immortal Warcraft. It is said that it went to heaven to become a constellation because it failed to fight Hercules.
Virgo
Virgo is said to be the daughter of the goddess of agriculture. Demi, the goddess of agriculture, has an only daughter named pushfanny. Once, unfortunately, he was robbed by Pluto (Hades), the king of the underworld. When demit was sad, he entered the cave in the valley and refused to come out, so that the earth no longer produced crops and hungry people could be seen everywhere. Zeus sent messengers to Pluto (Hades) and ordered him to return puxifeni. Pluto (Hades) dared not disobey Zeus, so he sent puxifeni back to his mother safely. But before she left, pushipinia ate four pomegranates from the underworld and had to return to the underworld in April.
libra
Libra is not named for the shape of the arrangement of stars. About 3000 years ago, when the sun moved to this constellation, the autumnal equinox was on the earth. At that time, the length of day and night was the same, so this constellation was named as a Libra with a sense of balance. But later, some people thought that this Libra was the scale used by Athena, the goddess of justice, to judge human good and evil. At the same time, there is another saying that Virgo in the west of Libra is the constellation incarnated by the goddess.
scorpio
In ancient times, there was a giant named Orion in Greece who lived by hunting and often chased prey with a thick stick in his hand. He always boasted: & ldquo; In this world, there is absolutely no prey I can't hunt& rdquo; Because of his arrogance, he angered the goddess, sent a scorpion one by one, waited on Oren's daily road and stung his foot. Oren couldn't help the sudden attack, and the poison quickly flowed all over his body and died. Orion became Orion, and because of his meritorious work, this Scorpio was pulled to the sky to become a constellation, Scorpio.
sagittarius
Kailong is an extremely intelligent horse man. He is good at medicine, equestrian and martial arts and is respected by people. Even Hercules should learn martial arts and astronomy from Kailong. Unfortunately, once, when Hercules had a dispute with other horsemen, he accidentally stabbed Kailong with a sword stained with the venom blood of the nine headed monster snake. Although Kailong has the body of immortality, the venom of the nine headed strange snake makes Kailong very painful, so he transfers the body of immortality to Prometheus to let himself die. So Zeus, the God of heaven, moved Kailong to heaven to become a constellation after his death.
Capricorn
Pan is a shepherd God with goat horns, beard and horn flute. Once, when pan was holding a banquet with the gods near the Nile, a monster attacked him. The monster was ferocious and tall. Even the gods were afraid of him and tried to escape. At that time, pan planned to turn into a fish. He was about to jump into the river and escape, but he may be too flustered. Only his lower body turned into a fish. Zeus, the God of heaven, saw his appearance and felt very ridiculous. He took him to the sky one by one and became a constellation.
aquarius
The gods held a banquet at the Olympus temple where they lived and drank the wine of nethal. At this time, it was Hebe, the daughter of Zeus and Princess Hera, who was responsible for pouring the wine. Herbert was famous for her beauty, but when she reached marriageable age, she could no longer serve wine because she married glass, the son of Zeus. Zeus was looking for a successor. One day, when Zeus came down to earth, he found a beautiful boy chasing sheep. He was caught by a heron. The boy changed his name to kanimedes and became a royal shepherd. Zeus, who was deeply moved, gave him a water bottle filled with water of wisdom and was later awarded the Aquarius of heaven.
