Greek Myths and Constellations

Greek Myths and Constellations

In Greek mythology, gods and animals play an active part. They have different personalities, characteristics, or roles, and develop amazing stories. Then they change into a constellation through a story.

Associating a constellation with a story makes it easier to remember stars and their positional relationships. It's hard to remember night sky stars by just numbers, but remembering them in connection with interesting stories will help you remember the whole night sky constellation.

Creating constellations and associating them with myths would have been important to accurately remember the stars and their positions.

Also, knowing the story will make you feel familiar with the constellations. That star has such a story, that is why this star shines in this season for this reason, and that makes you feel special about the stars.
