[center]Lepus[/center]
The pregnant hare brought to the Island of Leros to feed the
people until it bred out of control. The villagers eventually
exterminated them and Zeus placed the Lepus among the stars
because rabbits do what they do and it wasn’t their fault.

[center]Milky-Way[/center]
Cronus father of the 12 Olympians swallowed all of his children,
for fear of them overthrowing him for his kingdom. When it came
to him swallowing his youngest, Zeus, his mother gave Cronus a
rock in swaddling clothes instead. Before he swallowed his son,
he asked Rhea to nurse the child before the dastardly deed. Rhea
kept of the pretense and breastfed the rock. Milk squirted out
into the galaxy instead of a child’s mouth, thus creating the
Milky Way. (Too cute a story)

[center]Ophiuchus[/center]
Also known as Asclepius, was raised and trained by Chiron the
great Centaur to be a physician. He was so good, that he could
bring the dead back to life. That infuriated Hades, the god of
the underworld and asked his brother Zeus to punish the mortal.
Zeus struck Ophiuchus with a lightning bolt, killing him. But,
felt pity for him and placed him among the stars.

[center]Orion[/center]
A great hunter that was close to the gods. He fell in love with
Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunt, provoking the jealousy of
her twin brother, Apollo. Apollo felt that Orion was taking too
much of his sister’s time and she began to neglect her duties to
guide the moon. Apollo complained to mother earth, Gaia and she
sent a scorpion to kill Orion. A great battle ensued, and both
dying as a result. Zeus placed Orion in the winter sky and the
scorpion in the summer sky so that they would never see each
other again to battle.

[center]Perseus[/center]
Grandson of King Acrisius and the son of Zeus and the mortal
Danae. His grandfather received a prophecy that his grandson
would one-day overthrow and kill him, so he tried to keep his
daughter from ever getting pregnant by locking her in a tower.
Zeus said, “No, I want her.” Danae ended up pregnant. For her
treachery, Acrisius threw her and her newborn son into a chest
and set them out to drown in the sea, since shedding the blood
of a relative was blasphemy. Zeus asked his brother to care for
the two and brought them safely to the island of Seriphos.
Perseus grew and went on adventures and ended up joining the
funeral games for a king, Perseus threw a discus and unbeknownst
to him, his grandfather was in the audience and the discus took
a sharp turn, killing him…thus fulfilling the prophecy.

[center]Pisces[/center]
Two koi fish that represent the goddess of love, Aphrodite and
her son, Eros. The monster Typhon decided one day that he was in
love with the goddess and caught them on a lake shore. The water
nymphs feeling sorry for the deities, turned them into the koi
fish to get away from him. With appreciation, the fish were
placed among the stars.
