Taurus Constellation Mythology Novels & Stories

Matt bluntly asked Nisha. “It’s quite the tragic story.” Nisha glanced over at the fur ball with a sad look on her face. “Long, long ago, there was a man called Icarius. He was traveling when he met some shepherds and gave them wine. He did it out of the kindness of his heart. However, the shepherds became drunk and thought Icarius had poisoned them, so they killed him. Icarius had a daughter named Erigone, and she was worried when her father didn’t return and set off with their dog Maera to find him. Maera led Erigone to Icarius’ grave. Erigone became so overwhelmed with grief that she hung herself, and Maera leaped off a cliff. Icarius, Erigone, and Maera are in the sky as the constellatio

it said startling me to see Olly's wolf approach me. He licked my hand as a sign that he was no threat to me. "Do not be discouraged. My name is Taurus. I am one with Olly and I'll always protect you even if it is from afar," Taurus said through mindlink. "W-why can I not shift?" I stammered. "The Moon Goddess is making your wolf especially for you. She is such a feisty strong-willed wolf but she fits with you and only you. The Moon Goddess says you two aren't ready to meet, but soon," he explained. "I must be cursed. What am I to do?" I reluctantly asked. "Continue on this path. There is something much greater that you are destined for. Do not stray away from the path you’re on. Trust your

Could she also become a goddess one day? "Yes. The Moon Goddess was once human but when she cultivated to the point of becoming a God, she fell in love with a magical beast which happened to be a wolf. When they started having children, she gave birth to babies with the attributes of a mortal and a wolf. This was how the Turakies came to be.

I answered. “Hmm. Theia like the Greek titan of light? That’s kind of funny,” she smiled. “I guess. I don’t really know much about mythology. Apparently, you do. So why is her name funny?” I asked as she stopped walking backward to fall into step on my right. “Well, she was the mother of Helios, Selene, and Eos. So the sun, the moon, and dawn. Werewolves are the children of the moon. And daddy’s wolf, Jericho, his name means the moon,” she shrugged.

We both looked up to the twinkling lights on the pod ceiling. “Lupus is a very old constellation. The Greeks called it ‘Therium’ which means ‘wild animal’ and the Romans called it ‘Beastia’, translated to ‘beast’.” Aiden looked proud by the information he was revealing. “What is the story behind it?” I asked, enthusiastic to know more. I was fascinated by most history, so this most definitely intrigued me. “Well, there are two Greek legends with regards to whom or what Lupus was. The first, was a wolf speared by a centaur in readiness for sacrifice. There is another constellation close to Lupus called ‘The Alter’, which is said to connect the two together…”

He came out half dead. And the first thing he did—before anything else—was come find me. To ask if I would be his queen. I cried and nodded yes. He held me tight against his chest. "Elara. I'll be good to you. Always." The dream was too lovely to last. I woke to the sound of furious gods pounding at my doors, demanding answers. It turned out that to please that girl, Aetheon had issued a divine decree on his own—he'd lifted her dead pet hound into the night sky and made it a constellation. The stars themselves had shifted out of alignment.

Aran asked from behind, not turning. "As far as I know, the Beastiary only identified them as loyal warriors of the Lord who have rebelled against him. I never recalled the reason why or how they came to be but I do know was that our homeworld was named after one." "Triton?" Razion asked. "Yeah," Keron replied. "Ever heard of the children's myth about the Ocean Warrior killing the great serpent of the seas that happened to be what the Angels called a 'Leviathan'?"

The sound of the pool filled the background. “And that one there is the Cassiopeia,” I informed Lilith, pointing out some of the constellations I remembered from when I was a kid and in the astronomy club. “See? You can recognize it… The one to the south of it is Andromeda, and the one to the east is Perseus. According to mythology, Cassiopeia bragged that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea nymphs, so as punishment her daughter was to be sacrificed to a sea monster. But Perseus, the demigod saved her from that fate and then claimed her as his.” I felt Lilith’s eyes on me, so I turned to her.

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. Due to him being immortal he could not die but lived in agony and pain. One night he begged Zeus to let him end his life because the pain ha

Jayden whispers in shock. My head is pounding and I feel dizzy. Tara is Keturah, the moon goddess. The woman who has been helping me all this while is the moon goddess? I always knew she was different, but it never occurred to me. “Keturah, blessed goddess, mother of our kind, it's an honour to have you in our midst”, Kreed says, going one knee. Everybody in the room does the same including, Jayden. I keep sitting, trying my best to see through the tears that have clouded my vision.
