Heroes of the Night Sky: The Greek Myths Behind the Constellations by Tom Kindley
The Ancient Greeks found patterns in the stars and told stories of the gods and heroes that lay behind these formations. This book brings the tales of 10 key constellations to life, including Ursa Major, Andromeda, Pegasus and Orion. Stories of love and death, of jealousy, deceit and yearning, open out over three pages, providing a wide canvas for Tom Kindley's strikingly beautiful illustrations.
