PISCES (The Fishes)



The two fish in the constellation Pisces are actually two well-known Greek gods in another form. Aphrodite (or Venus), the goddess of love and beauty and her child Eros (or Cupid) the god of infatuation were walking happily together, mother and child, along the banks of the river Euphrates. Suddenly there appeared the monster Teuphon, a notorious villain in Greek myths. Startled, the two sprang into the river, changed into fish, and swam away as fast as they could go. The goddess Athena saw them, and placed them in the heavens in the form of two fish linked by a ribbon.
