"The Legend of Pisces"
Pisces is a constellation located in the northern sky, named after the Latin word for fish. In astrology, Pisces is also one of the 12 zodiac signs, symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. But where did the legend of Pisces come from?
According to Greek mythology, the story of Pisces begins with the godde【更多相关资讯请访问WWw.1238885678.coM>蓝驰星座】ss Aphrodite and her son Eros. One day, they were walking along the banks of the Euphrates river when a monster named Typhon appeared. Typhon was the largest and most fearsome creature in all of Greece, with a hundred heads that breathed fire and smoke. Aphrodite and Eros were terrified and tried to escape, but Typhon was too fast and too strong.
Just as all hope seemed lost, two fish appeared in the river and carried Aphrodite and Eros to safety on their backs. To honor the fish for their bravery, Aphrodite placed them in the night sky as a constellation, forever known as Pisces.
Another version of the Pisces legend comes from Ancient Egypt. The goddess Isis and her husband Osiris were traveling along the Nile river when they were attacked by a giant crocodile. The crocodile was fierce and would not let them pass, until two fish appeared and distracted the creature long enough for Isis and Osiris to escape. In gratitude, Isis placed the fish in the sky as the constellation we now know as Pisces.
In Chinese astrology, Pisces is not recognized as a separate sign, but is instead associated with two other signs: the Rat and the Boar. According to Chinese legend, the Rat and the Boar were traveling together when they came across a river they could not cross. The Rat suggested they build a raft, but the Boar was too lazy and refused. Suddenly, two fish jumped out of the water and offered to carry the Rat and the Boar across the river on their backs. The Rat and the Boar were amazed and grateful, and to this day they remain friends with the fish.
In all these legends, Pisces is associated with bravery, kindness, and a willingness to help others. These qualities are also said to be typical of those born under the sign of Pisces in astrology. Regardless of where the legend comes from, Pisces remains one of the most recognizable and beloved constellations in the night sky. So the next time you look up at the stars, remember the story of Pisces and the fish who saved the day.
