Aratus with Commentaries

And one beautiful and large star occupies those, which they call the hupouraios under-tail bond. Let the left shoulder of Andromeda be a sign for the Ichthus Fish to the north; for it is very near to him.

Both feet might mark out the famous Perseus, which are always carried upon his shoulders. But he is carried in the north, longer than others. And his right hand is stretched out upon the back of a mourning throne; and those things in his feet are as if he were pursuing, lengthening his tracks, dusty in father Zeus.

Near his left knee, all the Pleiades are carried. The space does not hold all of them very much, and they themselves are faint to look upon. Seven are said to be among men, six as if visible to the eyes. Not one star has perished, unheard of from Zeus, from whom we hear even from our birth, but it is said exactly so. Those seven are called by name: Alcyone, Merope, Celaeno, Electra, Sterope, Taygete, and the mistress Maia. They are all small and dim, but they are named in the spring and evening, and Zeus is responsible, they wheel, he who commanded them to signify both the beginning of summer and winter, and the approaching plowing.

And the Chelys Tortoise/Lyre is small. Hermes pierced it still by the cradle, and called it to be named the Lyra Lyre.
