And I was thinking about how Ursa Minor is also called the small wagon and originally was the wing of the dragon constellation - both wings and wagons being what carries their owners long distances fast.



I got a nice booklet (plus constellation plates) on the flea-market a while ago. Only cost me a buck and has all this information on the myths and their possible origins (e.g. for Draco how it originally rotated around the celestial north pole 5000 years ago and thereby became that symbol for eternity, immortality etc.).
