Ursa Major

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.

Ursa Minor

Named after Arcas, son of the nymph, Callisto, who was turned into a bear by the jealous goddess Hera for having the nerve to attract her philandering husband’s eye. When Callisto the bear tried to approach her son, Arcas only saw and heard a bear and not his mother. Being a hunter, he tried to spear the animal. Zeus knowing the bears true identity, turned Arcas into a bear and placed both mother and son among the stars.

Virgo

Based upon the goddess of the harvest and agriculture, Demeter. When her daughter, Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, Demeter refused to allow the plants to grow until her daughter had been returned. When a compromise was made, Persephone would come home for six months then return to the underworld for six months. When the stars of Virgo are seen in the springtime, it signals the return of Persephone to her mother and the start of planting season.
