Ancient Egyptian myths for different constellation

Orion the Hunter appears in the winter sky, with his bow and his hunting dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor, trailing behind him.

Greek mythology tells us that Orion was known as a talented hunter. His boast that he could rid the Earth of all the wild animals, however, angered the Earth goddess, Gaia. She sent a scorpion to defeat Orion. Orion tried to battle the scorpion, but he quickly realized that he could not shoot his arrow through the creature’s armor.

To avoid the scorpion, he jumped into the sea. It was then that Apollo (the Greek god of the Sun) decided to take action. He pointed out to his twin sister, Artemis, a small black object in the sea. Claiming it was a horrible villain, he dared her to shoot it with her bow and arrow. Artemis easily hit the target. When she swam out to retrieve her victim, however, she discovered that the villain was her friend, Orion.

Artemis begged the gods to bring Orion back to life, but they refused. So, instead, she put Orion’s picture in the sky so that she could always see him.

Gemini

Many constellations have more than one story associated with them. People debate over which myth influenced each one, but Gemini is different. There is only one myth associated with this constellation. Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology are the twins represented by Gemini. These two have the same mother. She is Leda, but they each have a different father. Tyndarus is Castor’s father. He is the King of Spartan, and he is married to Leda. The Greek god Zeus is Pollux’s father. This is why the one brother is immortal while the other is not. As a mortal, Castor will eventually die. Pollux is immortal. This means he will live eternally. The two boys were born from eggs after Zeus had visited Leda disguised as a swan.

The two brothers were twins even though they had different fathers. When they were young, they were handsome as well as adventurous. They enjoyed many adventures together, and they were known for their curiosity and lively ways. Pollux had great strength. Castor was an excellent horseman. He competed in and won many Olympic Games. Other athletes worshipped him as a god. They had a beautiful sister. She was Helen of Troy, the same one that the great Trojan War was fought over. The boys fought in this war, and they were Argonauts who joined in the quest for the Golden Fleece. It was after the quest when they found themselves involved in a fight between to other young men. It led to a horrible battle where Castor was killed.

Castor dies because he is a mere mortal. Pollux is extremely upset about this. They had spent their entire lives together, and now he was left alone. He did not want to go on without Castor, but because he was immortal, there was nothing he could do about it. He goes to his father, ZEUS, and begs for help. Zeus had a decision to make. He decided that he did not want to kill Pollux so he could be with his brother. Instead, he makes Castor immortal. The two brothers were then able to stay together forever as Gemini, the constellation

Ursa major,  minor and Polaris 

A prominent spring constellation is Ursa Major, the great bear.  In
America, part of it is often referred to at the Big Dipper, with seven
bright, second-magnitude stars tracing the shape of a dipper. In Greek
mythology, the bear was Callisto, a lover of Zeus.  Hera, his wife, became
so angry, she turn Callisto into a bear, and then picked her up by the
tail and hung her in the sky, which is why she has such a long tail (most
bears don't). Hera put Callisto just in front of Canes Venatici, the
hunting dogs, which chase her around the Pole Star, Polaris, forever.  
Ursa Minor, the little bear, is the constellation Polaris is in: it is
Callisto's child.  Polaris is at the tip of the tail of Ursa Minor;
