Constellation Myths: With Aratus's Phaenomena by Aratus, Eratosthenes, and Hyginus

Constellation Myths: With Aratus's Phaenomena by Aratus, Eratosthenes, and Hyginus

This collection gathers three ancient texts foundational to Western star lore — Aratus's poem Phaenomena, along with works attributed to Eratosthenes and Hyginus — recording the myths the Greeks and Romans attached to each constellation.

Together the texts explain how figures from mythology, from Orion to Cassiopeia, came to be fixed among the stars, and the edition situates these ancient astronomical-mythological texts within their historical scientific context rather than presenting them as mere folklore.

A scholarly collection of the ancient texts underpinning Western constellation mythology.
