Description: The most complete extant works dealing with the mythic origins of the constellations are by the Hellenstic writer termed pseudo-Eratosthenes and an early Roman writer styled pseudo-Hyginus. Each of these drew extensively from the writings of older sources (Hesiod and his successors), providing a clear overview of the stories which lay behind the star groups we are so familiar with today.
