The most seasoned depiction of the constellations, as we probably am aware it today, has brought the instructional epic. Appearance (Latin title Phaenomena et prognostica), composed around the year 270 BC by Arar, a Greek writer in the period of Alexandria. In the epic he gathered the scientific material of perceptions about the starry sky, enlivened by interesting stories from the Greek bajeslovo. In 1154 hexameters he explained that these constellations were "made" by onlookers of the sky some time before him. In his epic Arat mainly depends on crafted by mathematics and space expert Evdoksa of Knid (fourth century BC).
The constellations depicted by Arat most likely originated thousands of years before him. They were likely made by space experts who lived on a prolific land between the streams Euphrates and Tigris (Mesopotamia), because the old human progress was flourishing for quite a long time. The Aratus and the Greek space expert of that time, we must thank the two names and pictures and states of a large portion of our famous constellations, and for the majority of the tales about them. For the Greek youth of that time, the starry sky was most likely the main picture book. From it they figured out how to become acquainted with the constellations. They listened to tales about them, for example, about Perseus, who flies on the back of the pegged Pegasus horse with Medusa's head in a sack through the sky to spare Andromeda, Orion, the best seeker of bygone eras, who flaunted that he can not murder him or hurt any creature, and eventually slaughtered by a tiny scorpion, about the pathetic ruler Cassiopeia, who was so incredible in her excellence that she was declared the most beautiful, significantly more beautiful than the young ladies from the Poseidon boon. That is the reason she was punished - she was placed in the sky, so she propped up around in the king's royal position around Severnica now and then, and she needed to cling so firmly that she didn't tumble down and keep her alive.
