大犬座 (CANIS MAJOR) & 小犬座 (CANIS MINOR) In greek Mythology, Canis Major was associated with Laelaps -a magical dog fated to catch whatever it chased, and Canis Minor was associated with the Teumessian Fox (or Cadmean vixen)- A huge fox fated never to be caught.
Greco-Roman legend however, depicts Draco as one of the Gigantes, who battled the Olympic gods for 10 years. Draco was slain by the goddess Minerva , and when she threw the dragon it became twisted and froze at the North Celestial Pole.
飛馬座 (PEGASUS) Pegasus was regarded to be the child of Medusa and Poseidon, and has been told in many different ways throughout Greek Mythology Some stories say they carried the thunderbolts of Zeus, others say they carried Perseus on its back.
Pegasus is the 7th largest constellation in the sky, and its brightest star Enif, is derived from the Arabic word for 'nose', as it is located on Pegasus's nose.
烏鴉座 (CORVUS) Corvus, meaning Raven in Latin, is often associated with the Greek myth of Apollo and Coronis, his lover.
Corvus was tasked with watching over Coronis,and when it told Apollo she had been untaithful,Apollo burst into a fit of rage and turned its pure white feathers black.

大犬座 (CANIS MAJOR) & 小犬座 (CANIS MINOR)
In greek Mythology, Canis Major was associated with Laelaps -a magical dog fated to catch whatever it chased, and Canis Minor was associated with the Teumessian Fox (or Cadmean vixen)- A huge fox fated never to be caught.
When faced with this paradox, Zeus turned them to stone and cast them into the stars.
萊拉普斯 (Laelaps)被安菲特律翁 (Amphitryon)放在了透墨索斯惡狐 (Teumessian Fox or Cadmean vixen)的旁邊，但是由於他們的命運相反，卻因此而陷入了無盡的輪迴。
為了解決這矛盾的難題，宙斯將它們變成了石頭，並將它們放上星空。

安菲特律翁：希臘神話中的底比斯將軍，大力神海克力士的養父。
Lupus is the only constellation without any particular association to mythological-stories.
Sometimes Lupus is seen as an animal about to be killed, or sacrificed to the nearby Centaurus constellation.
通常豺狼座被視為普通的動物，或將被殺死或獻給在他附近的半人馬座。
它的拉丁名是Wolf，是88個現代星座之一。 因此在現代它幾乎總是被描繪成狼。
天龍座 (DRACO)
A dragon in Greek Mythology known as Ladon may have given this constellation its name.
Ladon was the guardian of the golden apples of the Hesperides (Nymphs of the evening), and was killed by Hercules during his twelve labors.
在希臘神話中有一隻被稱為拉登 (Ladan)的龍，這或許就是它一開始的名字。
但在希臘-羅馬的傳說中，他們將天龍座 (Draco)描述為與奧林帕斯眾神作戰10年的“泰坦巨人”之一。在這場戰役中，天龍座 (Draco)被女神米娜瓦 (Minerva)殺死，並在被她扔出去時凍結在北天極*。

米娜瓦：對應希臘神話裡的雅典娜。
天極：地球的自轉軸心。
Pegasus was regarded to be the child of Medusa and Poseidon, and has been told in many different ways throughout Greek Mythology Some stories say they carried the thunderbolts of Zeus, others say they carried Perseus on its back.
飛馬座是天空中的第七大星座，它最亮的恆星Enif源自阿拉伯語的“鼻子(nose)”，因為它正位於飛馬座的鼻子上。
烏鴉座 (CORVUS)
Corvus, meaning Raven in Latin, is often associated with the Greek myth of Apollo and Coronis, his lover.
Corvus was tasked with watching over Coronis,and when it told Apollo she had been untaithful,Apollo burst into a fit of rage and turned its pure white feathers black.
烏鴉座的任務是監視科羅尼斯，當它告訴阿波羅她出軌時，阿波羅怒不可遏，將牠純白色的羽毛變成了黑色*。
烏鴉座裡最明亮的恆星伽瑪·科維(Gienah)是一顆老化的藍巨星，這也是為什麼在徽章的設計中它是藍色的而不是白色。
———
*將烏鴉變成黑色那個部分我查了一下，有另一個版本比較清楚的故事是說，阿波羅聽信了烏鴉的話而大發雷霆的一箭射重科羅尼斯的胸口，最後才發現是誤會一場，悔恨之下阿波羅因此將烏鴉的聲音奪去，並將他原本純白的身體染成了黑色。
