Constellation Taurus Mythology Novels & Stories

They come into view from behind and flank her sides as guardians. “Are we on the moon?” I say looking at the night sky, the constellations are mesmerizing. I can recognize clearly how groups of stars form the patterns of images resembling mythological figures such as the Great Bear, Orion, Leo, Taurus and Hercules. “Not quite so, but we are in a place safe for you,” she tells me, taking away my attention to her again. “Then why did you bring me here?” The peace and tranquility is palpable, but the fact that I don't know her true intentions is giving me anxiety.

Basil answered. “That’s Aquarius. Do you know about him?” Basil shook his head. “Well Aquarius is Latin for ‘cup bearer’ or ‘water bearer.’ The story of Aquarius in Greek mythology is that there was a beautiful Phrygian boy, Ganymede, who was carried off to Mount Olympus by an eagle and he became the cupbearer to Zeus. And he became the representation of Aquarius. In some stories they say that Zeus himself was the eagle that abducted him to Mount Olympus.” “What’s a…Phrygian?” Basil asked when Jaxsen had finished speaking.

She shifted herself so she was facing the south. “So you see the very bright star in the sky over here. it's called Hadar and it's the brightest star in the southern sky. It's in the constellation Centaurus. Centaurus is for Chrion who tutor Hercules and they became great friends. Hercules accidentally took a sacred wine from Chiron home to his friend's home. Once the wine was opened the scent drew several centaurus to the home. A fight broke out and Hercules killed many centaurs. Chiron had came to stop the fight but sadly was struck by a poison arrow.

"Come, try this." Coming over her, he peered up into the vast unknown and spotted a cluster of stars, each gleaming with hot blue-white light. "What do you see?" She asked, her head gently knocking his as she bent down, not waiting for him to answer. "Beautiful, isn't it? It's Pleiades, the Seven Sisters in Greek Mythology." Arabella began to name each star, their names were exotic yet so foreign that he soon forgot the previous right after she mentioned the next. He listened to the tale about the constellation as she spoke eagerly about it, and together they explored several others, including the moon.

"And who is Orion, by the way? Is he so special that a whole constellation was named after him?" He let out a chuckle. "Well, I guess he is. He's the son of Poseidon and a great hunter in Greek Mythology." I playfully touched his cheeks and pinched them. “Damn. You're so smart.” I chuckled when I saw his cheeks went red. “How about that one?” I looked to the sky and pointed to another group of stars. “That one is the big dipper. And that one, the brightest star, is Polaris.” “Oh, I know Polaris,” I proudly said to him. “That’s the north star, right? The brightest star. The star that used to guide the sailor during old times.” I pouted. “Wow. I can't believe I could still remember something f

The goddess’s granted their wish and Tiamat gave birth in the form of an egg. "One day a powerful man, blessed with the strength of a god came to claim Apsu and Tiamat’s egg. A war began between the sky gods and the mortal clan of Dacians. The sky gods were defeated when Tiamat was struck down and Morrigan pleaded for Artaius the bear god of the mountains to take the egg. He sent Arca

Tristan's mind reeled as he gazed at Athena, his thoughts tangled in a web of confusion. One moment, they were fighting; the next, they were...mated? He stumbled backward, his eyes fixed on the shimmering bond between them. Was this what his mother was referring to? The fated mate? The divine one; ordained by the moon goddess? Could the elusive figure he saw just now be the Moon Goddess? Tristan knew he was done for? Fated mate? At this stage of his life?

She wondered, if fate plays with him, what would he choose? She shrugs the thoughts off and approaches him. She held him in the shoulder. Andrius smiled at her and motioned her closer to his telescope. "Orion," he said from behind him. "The myth says, he fell in love with the seven sisters Pleiades." Andrius moved the telescope in different directions. Anya followed it and watched. Andrius seemed knowledgeable about constellations. He says a lot that she doesn't know. As he spoke behind her, his breath hit her full ear. And sometimes he deliberately hit it on her neck.

"Why do they call it Orion the Hunter?" "The name is a reference to a story from Greek mythology. You will find Orion mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. According to the story, he was placed in the sky by the king of the gods, Zeus. He chases the scorpion… which is that constellation there.... and the star Sirius.... there.... was his dog." Her eyes are bright and attentive. "If you would like to know more, I have a book at home. I will bring it to class tomorrow." She nods eagerly.

We’re on the small porch, legs tucked under a blanket, dinner plates empty beside us, tea in hand. The sky above is a wash of pale blue with soft clouds drifting lazily, and the air smells like Lior's leather scent and the wood's pine. Lior is sitting beside me, leaning back on one elbow, his other hand casually holding a steaming mug. He points toward the sky. “You see that one? The big cluster near the left?” I squint. “Kind of. Looks like a smudge.” He laughs again, quietly this time. “That’s the Lupus constellation. It’s said to represent a warrior who gave up everything to protect his people. Died alone. Tragic story, but kind of poetic.”
