But where did the constellations come from and what are the myths associated with them? \u003ci\u003eStar Myths of the Greeks and Romans\u003c\/i\u003e is the most comprehensive work ever published on the forty-eight classical constellations. Included in this handbook are the only surviving works on the constellation myths that have come down to us from antiquity: an epitome of \u003ci\u003eThe Constellations of Eratosthenes\u003c\/i\u003e--never before translated into English -- and \u003ci\u003eThe Poetic Astronomy of Hyginus\u003c\/i\u003e. Also provided are accurate and detailed commentaries on each constellation myth, and complete references for those who wish to dig deeper. This book is a comprehensive sourcework for anyone interested in astronomy or mythology -- and an ideal resource for the occasional stargazer.","brand":"Phanes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033208275184,"sku":"9781890482930","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781890482930_p0.jpg?v=1763608721","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781890482930","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
