Origin of the Pleiades The Onondaga is a Native American tribe who were located in Northeast America. They created the legend for the origin of the Pleiades. The Pleiades are a cluster of seven stars that are normally known to be the seven daughters of Atlas, a greek god (Merriem-webster.com) However, the Onondaga tribe has their own version of the creation of these stars, that also doubles as a lesson to children and others. The story begins with a group of Indians traveling to a good hunting

Before he could ever reach out to the Pleiades Zeus saw and immediately picked them up and dropped them in the sky among the stars. (Orion Constellation) Other sources say that Orion met and fell in love with King Oenopion’s daughter Merope. She however did not
Introduction For centuries, people from all latitudes have been fascinated by the night sky. The unreachable stars, the Moon, the comets and all the events happening in the sky, fired up imaginations and became symbols of life and death, of war, peace and the passing of time and the seasons. The movement of the stars was used to establish the time for planting and harvesting, to prepare for the long winters and to try to discover the future and destiny, the eternal unknown destiny of the human race
“New World Romans” is what Aveni called these ancient astronomers. Settled in what now is Peru in 1400 to 1532 C.E, the Inca Empire was a large and sophisticated society that was later conquered by the Spanish. Many mysteries were left untold in their 132-year reign. Along with their mysteries, their beautiful land housed a complex system called the Ceque System. Understanding the Ceque system gives us a painting of the civilization and how they operated. The Ceque being a centralized system brought

Ethan is describing how he feels about Mattie saying how she understands him and how he can tell her things like “‘That's Orion down yonder; the big fellow to the right is Aldebaran, and the bunch of little ones—like bees swarming—they're the Pleiades…’” and she is entranced by what he says. This line is a metaphor for his life as each character is
There are many scientific explanations and literary accounts for the constellation Taurus. The name comes from the Latin language and translates to “bull.” Taurus is commonly known as “the bull” (“Taurus Constellation”; Wilkinson). Taurus is also famously known for being the second zodiac sign (“Taurus”). For someone to have Taurus as their zodiac sign, they have to be born on any day from April 20 to May 20 (Birth Dates and Corresponding Sun Signs). People born during this time are said to be

Constellations are patterns of groups of stars in the sky. They have been around for a long time, and most people know of the most common ones, especially the zodiac constellations. I find constellations interesting because I always liked trying to find them in the night sky, and I have always wondered how they came about. Constellations have an important history that many do not know about. Constellations have been around for over 3000 years. No one knows who invented them, however astronomers believe
of flight makes him the messenger of all the gods. Mercury also steals from and plays tricks on the gods. Sometimes he plays a robin hood and steals from the gods to give to the people of Earth. Mercury is the son of Jupiter and Maia, one of the Pleiades. Mercury is known for having a jokester personally. He regularly lies, steals, and tricks the gods into giving him things, however his service are still reliable enough for the gods to trust him with their message and delivers.
Sometime around 750-600 B.C.E., the Greek poet Hesiod produced what is generally thought to be the oldest surviving Greek poetic works. During this time, Greece was near the middle of its Archaic period, a period of technological, social, political, and cultural innovations. This was the period in which the first true alphabet system arose, the system which allowed Hesiod and other poets like him to record permanently the oral stories and lyrics so important to Greek culture. This was also the time

We can prove it by reading their scientific works and books. Astronomy was also connected with religion, myths and legends. In Homer's works "Iliad" and "Odyssey" he mentioned constellations Boötes, Orion and Ursa Major; star clusters Hyades and Pleiades; star Sirius. There was also written several astronomical phenomena like solar eclipse. One of the ancient Greek myths was that the Earth was flat and was created by the goddess Gaia. They also believed in geocentric Earth model- that Earth was
♉ Taurus, Latin for “bull,” is one of the oldest constellations, its observation dating back tens of thousands of years. In fact, 40,000-year-old Paleolithic cave paintings of Taurus exist in the Hall of the Bulls in the caves at Lascaux, located in the southwest of France. Taurus takes the form of the bull in many mythologies of numerous cultures throughout history. In the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world’s first works of literature, the goddess Ishtar asks her father, Anu, to send
giants. Atlas was the strongest of all the titans. His father was titan Iapetus and his mother was the Sea Nymph Clymene. His brothers were Prometheus and Cronus. Atlas was the father of the Hesperides (Daughters of the Evening,) the Hyades, and the Pleiades. He was also the king of the legendary Atlantis. In etymology Atlas means “bearer'; or “endurer.'; An image of Atlas is a person with the world on his back. Also a book of maps is called an atlas. Atlas played a major part in Greek Mythology
spring equinox and the midsummer (Summer Solstice). Beltane traditionally marked the arrival if summer in ancient times. At Beltane the Pleiades star cluster rises just before sunrise on the morning horizon. The Pleiades is a cluster of seven closely placed stars, the seven sisters, in the constellation of Taurus, near his shoulder. When looking for the Pleiades with the naked eye, remember it looks like a tiny dipper-shaped pattern of six moderately bright star in the constellation of Taurus. It
One Greek myth story based on the stars is The Pleiades. This story is about Atlas’ 7 daughters; Electra, Maia, Taygete, Alcyone, Merope, Celaeno, and Sterope.
