How did the twelve constellations come from?

the origin of Aries (3/21-4/19)

In an ancient and distant country, the king and queen divorced because of their incompatible personalities, and took another

woman. Unfortunately, the new queen was born with jealousy and could not stand the king's

love for a pair of children left by his ex-wife, so an evil plot gradually formed in her mind.

Spring is coming, and it's the season of sowing and farming. The new queen will send the fried wheat to the unsuspecting farmers all over the country. Of course, no matter how watered and fertilized, the ripe wheat can't sprout.

farmers who are kept in the dark are puzzled.

At this time, the new queen spread rumors about the wheat, claiming that the wheat could not germinate because

the country was cursed, and all the curses were due to the evil thoughts of the prince and princess, which caused the wrath of God and led to the punishment of God on the country.

hearing this, the farmers with simple personality, oh, my god! Oh, come on! Because of the evil prince and princess, the people of the whole country will fall into the abyss of poverty and hunger. What a terrible thing!

Soon, all parts of the country, men and women, old and young, unanimously demanded that the king must

put the prince and princess to death, so that the country could untie the curse and quell the wrath of heaven, the people's hard work would be rewarded, and the country could

restore its past stability and prosperity.

Although the king was reluctant, in order to quell public anger, he had to reluctantly agree to people's demands and prepare to put the princess and the prince to death in order to gain people's trust. The news reached the birth mother of the prince and princess. When < P > was surprised and scared, she quickly turned to Zeus, a great god, for help. Zeus certainly knew that it was the queen, so

he agreed to help. On the day of execution, a ram with long golden hair suddenly appeared in the sky and rescued Wang

' s brother and sister. On the way to fly across the sea, the ram accidentally made his sister fall into the sea and died.

Later, in order to reward this brave but careless ram, Zeus hung him high in the sky, which is known as Aries today.

The origin of Taurus (4/21-5/2)

Through the Behnas River in Mogna, Greece, King Behnas had a beautiful princess, Herobe.

One day, the princess and the maids went to the wild to pick flowers and play, and suddenly a cow as white as snowflakes appeared.

She looked at Heluobei with gentle eyes. In fact, this cow was changed by Zeus who admired the beauty of the princess.

At first, the princess was really surprised, but she still went to the tame cow and touched it gently.

Because the bull was very clever and gentle, the princess climbed on the back of the bull and tried to ride it.

Suddenly Niu Ben ran and finally jumped into the Aegean Sea. The princess hugged the cow tightly, and all the creatures in the sea came out to salute Zeus.

The princess finally knew that the cow was the incarnation of Zeus, and when she arrived in Crete, she married Zeus.

Zeus and Princess Helobe, who became cows, lived a happy life.

the origin of Gemini (5/22-6/21)

Princess Rita gave birth to many lovely children, including two brothers, who are not only very close, but also almost identical in appearance, making it easy for people to think that they are twins.

In fact, among the two brothers, the elder brother is the son of Princess Rita and Zeus.

One day, Greece was attacked by a huge wild boar, and the princes called many warriors to hunt down wild pigs. When the wild boar was successfully solved, the warriors fought for each other's merits, but they forged a hatred between themselves.

On a lively occasion in a market, warriors who look at each other and are not pleasing to the eye meet unexpectedly, and of course, there will be a quarrel. In the quarrel, some people started to fight, so the scene became out of control, and many people were injured or even killed in the fighting. Unfortunately, the younger of the two princes was also killed in this chaos.

My brother, who has always been very close to this brother, couldn't accept the news that his brother had died, and kept crying with his body, hoping that his brother could come back to life and that they could enjoy the happy days when they were brothers

together.

So, my brother went back to heaven and asked his father Zeus to bring his brother back to life. However, Zeus

told him that his younger brother was just an ordinary man and would have died. If he really wanted to bring his younger brother back to life, he had to share the rest of his life with his younger brother.

My affectionate brother, of course, agreed immediately without hesitation, and from then on, the two brothers can

live happily together.

The origin of Cancer (6/22-7/23)

The sensitive and affectionate Cancer is a symbol of motherhood, with her arms around her chest, showing the natural nature of a mother to protect her children.

However, in another symbolic sense, the baby in the arms represents the helpless and fragile self, and the surrounding

arms illustrate the strong self-protection significance of Cancer.

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

We have to start with Hewuli-Hewuli is the son of Zeus and mortals, and Sheila wants to kill him three times and twice

: He is also the greatest hero in Greece and the strongest man in the world. There is nothing he can't do.

Even the gods conquered the giant Terran with his help. Of course, He Wuli also made many

great contributions to the gods. One day, he came to the kingdom of Messini and was about to receive a hero's welcome. However, the king was instructed by Sheila to give him a difficult problem-killing hydra living in the swamp, which was very difficult, because

for every head cut off, countless heads would be born immediately.

He Wuli thought of a way to burn the snakeheads with fire, thus easily solving the eight snakeheads. Seeing that there was only one left, Sheila was furious in the sky. "Did you fail this time?" She is unwilling

! So he called a huge crab from the sea to hinder He Wuli. The crab put out a powerful pair of crab clips < P > to hold He Wuli's feet, but everyone knows that He Wuli is the strongest person in the world! This cancer finally died under

his brute force.

Sheila failed again, but she felt sorry for the desperate sacrifice of Cancer. In order to appreciate the loyalty of Cancer

, even if she didn't succeed, Sheila put it in the sky and became a cancer.

The origin of Leo (7/24-8/23)

Facing the challenger, the king's demeanor of going straight and fighting alone is a symbol of Leo. It is said that the origin of Leo

is related to He Wuli.

Hewuli is the illegitimate child of Zeus and mortals. He was born with incomparable divine power, so Sheila was jealous

. When He Wuli was a baby, he put two giant snakes in the cradle, hoping to kill He Wuli. < P > I didn't expect He Wuli to hold them with a smile, and he was regarded as "the greatest hero of mankind" since childhood.

Sheila certainly won't give up killing Hewuli because of a failure. She deliberately made Hewuli go crazy and wait for her wife. Hewuli was very regretful and sad when she woke up, and decided to wash away her sins by asceticism. He

came to Messini and asked the king to assign him tasks. Who knew that the king was instructed by Sheila, and he was given twelve

difficult tasks, which must be within twelve days.

This lion usually lives in the forest. He Wuli went into the forest to look for him, but the forest was silent.

All the animals, birds, deer and squirrels were eaten clean by the lion. When he was tired, He Wuli started to doze off.

. At this moment, the giant lion came out with his head held high from a cave with double holes. He Wuli opened his eyes and saw,

Oh, my God! Man-eating lions are five times as big as ordinary lions, and their bodies are covered with animal blood, which adds a bit of horror.

He Wuli shot him with an arrow and then hit him with a wooden stick, but it was useless. The giant lion was invulnerable, and finally He Wuli

had to hand-to-hand combat with the lion. The process was very tragic, but in the end he strangled the lion with brute force.

Although the man-eating lion died, Sheila threw the man-eating lion into the air to commemorate his courage to fight with He Wuli, and became a Leo.

The origin of Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and Zeus the Great gave birth to a daughter Persephone. One day, while Persephone was picking flowers in the wild,

a beautiful flower that she had never seen before was in full bloom. Just as she reached out to pick it, the ground suddenly split into several pieces, and

it fell. Mother had to swear by Myrtle to find her missing daughter and searched everywhere.

Helius, the sun god who saw everything, told Demeter that Haides, the keeper of the underworld, wanted to marry Persephone and brought her back to the ground.

Demeter was so sad that the plants withered and the earth became barren. Zeus saw that the situation was serious.

He interceded with Hades, but when Persephone was leaving, Haides gave her pomegranates from the underworld to eat.

Persephone was happy to eat four because she could leave, and she was forced to stay in the underworld for four months a year.

These four months became the winter when everything was not suitable for farming today. When Persephone returned to the world, it was spring.

She was forced to stay in the underworld.

The origin of Libra (9/24-1/23)

In ancient times, both human beings and gods lived on the ground and lived a peaceful and happy life together, but

Human beings became more and more clever, and they not only learned to build houses and pave roads, but also learned to intrigue and cheat, which made many immortals suffer from bad habits

.

But among the gods, there is a goddess who represents justice. She is not discouraged by human nature, but still lives with people. However, human beings are getting worse and worse, and there are wars and killing each other < P >. In the end, even the goddess of justice couldn't stand it, and she resolutely moved back to the sky to live, but this doesn't mean that

she has completely despaired of human beings. She still thinks that human beings will wake up one day and return to their kind and pure nature

.

The Goddess of Justice, who returned to the sky, met Poseidon by chance one day. Poseidon laughed at her foolish trust in human beings, and then they had a heated debate. During the debate, the goddess of justice thought that Poseidon had insulted her and had to apologize to him, but Poseidon didn't think so. It was said that the two men were deadlocked and sued Zeus.

This situation makes Zeus feel very embarrassed, because the goddess is his daughter and Poseidon is his brother, so it is not good to take sides. Just when Zeus was very upset about this, the queen put forward a

suggestion in time, asking Poseidon to compete with the goddess of justice, and whoever lost would apologize to the other side.

The venue of the competition is located in the square of Heaven, and Poseidon will start first. Poseidon waved his stick at the wall, and beautiful water immediately flowed out of the crack. Then the goddess of justice changed into a tree, which has a reddish-brown trunk, green leaves and golden olives. Most importantly, anyone who looks at this tree feels

love and peace. At the end of the game, Haisai was convinced to give up.

in order to commemorate this result, Zeus threw the scale he carried with him into the sky and became the scale seat of today's sky.

The origin of Scorpio (October 24-November 22)

Bayeton, the son of Apollo, the sun god, was born beautiful and sexy, so he felt conceited.

His attitude was always arrogant and rude, and his strong personality often made him unintentionally offend many people. One day, someone

told Bayeton, "You are not the son of the sun god!" " After laughing, he left. How could the strong Ba Ye < P > dun swallow this tone? So he asked his mother, "Am I the son of Apollo after all?"

"But no matter how repeatedly his mother assured him that he was indeed born by Apollo, Bayeton still didn't believe his mother's

relatives, so he said," The person who made fun of you is the son of Zeus, and his position is very high. If you still don't believe it, then ask Apollo himself! "

Apollo listened to his son's question and said with a smile, "Don't listen to their nonsense, of course you are my son!" "

Bayeton still insists on not believing. In fact, he certainly knows that the sun god never tells lies, but he has another purpose

-to drive his father's solar car to prove that he is the son of Apollo. "How can this work?" Ah

Poirot was shocked. The sun is the master of all things, and it will cause great disasters if you are not careful. But Ah

Poirot just explained how to drive a solar car on a certain track. Without listening, Ba Yeton jumped on the car and galloped away.

Of course, the result was miserable. People, animals and plants on the ground either died of heat or froze to death, and the time was lost.

It made the sky dark and filled with complaints. In order to stop Bayeton, the gods released a scorpion from Sheila the day after tomorrow,

biting Bayeton's ankle, while Zeus hit Bayeton with terrible thunder and lightning, only to see him fall to the ground with a scream and die.

The world is quiet again. To commemorate the scorpion that was also killed by lightning, this constellation was named

"Scorpio"

The origin of Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)

In the remote grassland of ancient Greece, a group of half-man, half-beast people galloped, which was a fierce group

. "Half man and half beast" represents the contradiction between rationality and irrationality, human nature and animal nature, which is Sagittarius.

the only exception in the Sagittarius-Chilon. Although Chilon is also a member of the Sagittarius, he is kind by nature, and

he is famous for being frank with his friends, so Chilon is very respected in the tribe. One day, Heqiuli, the greatest hero of Greece, came to visit his friend, the super Hercules who strangled the giant snake with his hands in his childhood.

When he heard that the Sagittarius is also a nation good at brewing, he thought of mellow wine. He forced his friend to steal it for him to enjoy, or he would be killed. Everyone knows that Heqiuli is the strongest man in the world, and even Apollo, the sun god, has to give him three points. Forced to do so, this Sagittarius < P > has to do what he wants.

While Heqiuli was intoxicated with the sweet fragrance, the aroma of wine had already permeated the whole tribe, and all

Sagittarius snapped.
