The Greek mythology of the twelve constellations: The story of the white sheep

white sheep <

3.21 - 4.19pppppfrom the story of the greek poet apolis of rhode in the third century a.d.

king atamas of boetia has a son, freik soss, and his stepmother, eno, wants to kill him in order to get his son to the throne.

enoch gathers all the seeds of the country's grains and cooks them secretly and then distributes them to the people, with the result that the grains are naturally ungrowing, causing the nation to go into famine; he also colludes with the shrine's emissaries, claiming that the gods are sending down their wrath and that the sacrifice of prince freksos is necessary to put an end to the famine.

the king listened to enoch's scheming, and when the prince was sent to the altar, hermes, the angel of god, accepted the prince's request to give birth to his mother, nephew, to have the sister of freksos ride a ram and bring him out.

the white sheep with golden wool and wings fell from the sky, carrying the prince from the altars and crossing the sea and the land, and her sister fell upon her way and died, unfortunately, before it was called the sea of hell.

fricksos landed successfully in corcas on the black sea.

the king of corcas had given him his daughter, and in gratitude for his salvation, fritzos had given the white sheep to the king of the gods, zeus, and given the golden wool to the king of corcas.

then zeus lifted the white sheep up into the sky and became the white sheep。
