| Angulus Latratoris | Vir | Zawiat al `Awwa |
the angle of the barker; we find no history of Virgo prior to Virginis in classical Greek literature; it may have originated in the poetry of Aratos. The Sumerians had an olive branch and a sheaf of wheat, but a kennel of barking dogs in between. Virgo was never a part of Hebrew literature. The woman mentioned in the 12th chapter of Revelation was more likely Isis or Baal, which are commonly called "mother nature" or "mother earth" in modern colloquial English. Allen, p. 470 |

| Prometheus | Vir | Prometheus |
a Titan, culture hero, and trickster who is credited with the creation of man from clay, and who defied the gods by stealing fire and giving it to humanity, an act that enabled progress and civilization We find no indication, outside of Rolleston, that any culture ever named any star Prometheus. He was generally considered a scoundrel in Greek mythology and could never be elevated to a star in Heaven. This may be the result of confusion with the name Protrygetor for epsilon Virginae. |
