The constellation that I have chosen is Taurus, or, the bull. I have chosen this constellation because it is one of my favorite constellations to look up at in the sky during the Winter at my house! Some of the main stars of Taurus include; Aldebaran, Beta Tauri, Gamma Tauri, and Epsilon Tauri. It is a large and prominent constellation in the Northern hemisphere, especially during winter.
The Bull symbolized both Isis and her brother Osiris, who were represented as a bull-god and cow-goddess respectively. In legend, Taurus is identified with the disguise adopted by Zeus in yet another of his adventures. On this occasion, the god fell in love with the beautiful Europa, daughter of King Agenor, as she strolled with her companions on the seashore.
