Lepus The Hare: The Greek Creation Myth

In Greek mythology, the Nemean Lion was an epic beast that was killed by Heracles, which is the constellation Hercules that was adapted from Heracles. During Heracles' first twelve labours, he killed Leo and the Greeks believe that this Nemean lion was placed among the constellations because of its greatness and because it was the 'King of the Beasts'.

Running through branches and high standing grass, I sprint as fast as my body will move. Insure about how much energy my body has left, I keep pacing a constant speed to catch up to Lennie. As the forest begins to come to an end, there is a lengthy creek that comes to view. Hesitating, I plunge into the water trying to find my dear friend Lennie. Just as I think there is no hope on finding him I see a movement out of the corner of my eye. Thinking it was just an animal, I turn away not even realizing that the animal was Lennie. Lennie, terror- stricken and drizzling, is standing right in front of me. I try to dash toward him, but since my legs are in the water they don’t seem to move quickly. Not even bothered about how slowly my feet are moving I still leap toward him in excitement. Since we were hugging I didn’t even realize that the neighing and running footsteps of the men’s horse were drawing closer to us.

Many nocturnal animals burrow themselves during the day but at the first sign of any harm or threat the animal escapes through an emergency “get away” tunnel. Not only nocturnal animals, but many other animals run when they are encountered with issues. Unfortunately, in Judith Cofer Ortiz’s, “The Story of My Body”, the main character and narrator, battles with not being able to run away from judgment. Due to not being able to run away from the judgment of those around her, she struggles with her own self-image. Basing one’s self-worth ultimately on the judgment made by others can greatly affect one’s self-image.

My favorite constellation by far is the Gemini constellation. The Gemini constellation is my favorite because my star sign is Gemini. And it is fairly easy to spot in the night sky, although the best viewing month is in February.

My Favorite Constellation is Hercules. Hercules is the fifth largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 1225 square feet in the sky. I've chosen this constellation because I quite enjoy the Greek myth behind it.

Once there was a wolf named Midnight who was walking through the forest, searching for a pack. His bright blue eyes glistened in the moon as he howled in pain. He had small memories of his family at night; as he brushed some of his jet black fur out of his eyes, he groaned. His family had been taken from him as a pup, and it had hurt him to see other people with family members because they can’t feel what he had felt.

I have chosen the Perseus Constellation. I chose that contallation because I have always liked the Greek Gods mythology. Perseus, named after the Greek Mythology hero, is a constellation in the Northen Sky. Perseus is bordered by Aries and Taurus to the south, Auriga to the east, Camelopardalis and Cassiopeia to the north, and Andromeda and Triangulum the west.

My favorite constellation would have to be Orion. I chose this because I've always thought it would be cool to be shooting down starry prey while soaring among the stars. Orion is a hunter. He is forever in the stars hunting down meals and criminals. To me, Orion seemed like a tough guy. He's by himself in the stars, waiting for someone or something to come his way and end his seemingly endless lonely universe. That's why I chose Orion and a little information on this great hunter.

“Hey! We’re running now. Start moving.” I opened my weary eyes. In front of me was the dark face of the same woman who I talked to at dusk. Heeding her words, I rose and started moving to the exit of the barn, quietly evading the slumbering guard outside. I realized that she stayed behind for me and the rest were gone already. After we went over the fence, we started to run as fast as a tiger until we were out of breath and our limbs were sore. The weather was clear as day and the sun was right above me. Then, I heard the familiar sound of

He moved quickly and quietly as a fox over the fresh powder from the blizzard, dodging trees and fallen branches protruding from the ground. The air was crisp and the figure could see his breath as he ran through the shrouded forest. His heart was racing, for he feared for his own life as he pursued this large beast. As he ran, the man noticed something, it was an animal that had been slaughtered by the beast. He examined the corpse closely, the stench of decay was very prominent as he got closer. He determined that the monster was close by, so he continued to follow the tracks, this time even more cautiously and considerably slower than before. He came to a clearing where a river was surging forth. This river was very wide and the pace it

The myth of Orion is an interesting one. Orion was known as a hunter in Greek mythology, and he boasted that he could defeat and kill any animal on Earth. This greatly angered Gaea, the earth goddess, so she sent a small scorpion to kill Orion. Unable to shoot his arrows through the scorpion's armor, he ran into the sea to escape. During

The Greek God Zeus was smitten by a nymph called Callisto. Zeus's wife Hera then turned Callisto into a bear out of jealousy. While she was a bear Callisto encountered her son Arcas, who wanted to kill the bear out of pure instinct. Zeus wanting to stop Arcas from killing Callisto, turned Arcas into a bear too and placed mother (Ursa Major) and son (Ursa Minor) permanently in the night sky to keep Callisto safe.

My favourite constellation is Orion (the hunter). I chose this constellation because I am very interested in Greek mythology (which is where the story of this constellation comes from), and I often see this constellation in the night sky. Orion can be found throughout the world and is on the celestial equator. It is one of the most well-known constellations in the sky. Orion is most clearly visible from February to November. This constellation is comprised mainly of 7 stars - three make up Orion's belt, two make up his feet, and two make up his shoulders. Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak are the three stars in Orion's belt, Betelgeuse is his right shoulder, Bellatrix is his left shoulder, Rigel is his left foot and Saiph is his right foot.

My favourite constellation is the Aquarius one. I particularly like this constellation because I love the mythology behind it. It is said the the Greeks connected the Aquarius constellation with Ganymede who was known as the cup bearer to the gods. According to the myth, apparently Ganymede was a handsome young boy who Zeus had an interest for. Ganymede was brought to Mount Olympus by Zeus, where he served as cup bearer to the gods and there he was granted eternal youth after he poured out Zeus wine and water which caused a great flood because he didn't want to serve drinks anymore.

The panther clawed his way up the hill, which grew steeper than he anticipated near the top. He huffed, exhausted from the burden, and greedily took in sweet air. Once he caught his breath, he howled an ear-shattering screech to the moon above, one of the abilities the moon god had remembered. “Great god of the moon, I beg your divine assistance! You have created me, put me on this earth below you, and gave me many qualities to make me a fearsome predator of the forests, and for all that I thank you humbly. However, you have also plagued me. I cannot see in the darkness, even with the help of your pale, milky light. Please, gracious god, even if eyes you will not grant me, I beg for anything that might aid me to find my way through your
