| Seven daughters of Atlas and the sea nymph, Pleione. Pursued by | |
| Orion, they were changed into doves to get away. Zeus placed | |
| them among the stars just to the west of Orion so he could see | |
| them but never be able to reach them. | |

| The Archer. �Chiron was born half man and half horse, whereas | |
| the other centaurs were born of the sun and rain clouds. One day | |
| Chiron was accidentally shot with a poisoned arrow by Hercules. | |
| Even though he was a great physician, Chiron could not heal | |
| himself. Being immortal, Chiron could not die but was pained by | |
| the poisoned arrow. In order to die, Chiron offered to replace | |
| Prometheus who was punished by the gods for giving fire to man. | |
| As Chiron gave up his immortality to release Prometheus from his | |
| chains, Zeus king of the gods saw the kindness of Chiron and | |
| immortalized him in the stars.� Source: | |

| Zeus fell in love with a beautiful nymph named, Callisto. Out of | |
| jealousy, his wife the goddess Hera turned her into a bear. In | |
| despair, Callisto searched out her son, Arcas, a hunter. When | |
| she tried to speak to him, nothing came out but bear speak. Not | |
| recognizing his mother, Arcas prepared to kill her with a spear. | |
| Before he could, Zeus turned him into a bear also and placed | |
| them among the stars. | |
