Myths in the Sky: the Fishes and the Whale
The Fishes (lat. Pisces)
This is a zodiac constellation known from olden times. In Ancient Egypt the Sun passed through this constellation in spring a season more suited to fishing, which was the main source of nourishment for the population. Together with two neighbourly constellations — the Goat and Water-Carrier — the Fishes form the heavenly sea. While crossing it the Sun sends abundant rains to the Earth.

The Whale (lat. Cetus)
It is a sea monster that was sent by Poseidon — God of the seas, to devour Andromeda.
