Sagittaurius & Gemini
Sagittarius is the centaur, Cheiron. Cheiron was unlike the other brutal Centaurs. He was kind and taught medicine, hunting, music and prophecy. He was a wonderful teacher to many great heroes, such as Jason and Achilles, and a friend to Heracles. The latter was the one who accidentally killed the Cheiron. While hunting a boar, Heracles shot Cheiron in the knee with one of his poisoned arrows. Being an immortal, Cheiron could not die, but Heracles promised that he would help him. This is were Prometheus comes in. Heracles happened upon him and discovered that he couldn't be freed unless someone took his place. Cheiron agreed and Prometheus was set free. Cheiron was allowed to die and Zeus placed his image among the stars as reward of his noble character.
Gemini is the sign of the twins. In Greek Mythology, these twins were Castor and Polydeuces (Pollux). Together, they were known as the Discouri. Their sisters were Helen and Clytemnestra. They were the sons of Leda and Zeus and Tyndareus. Sound confusing? It is! Castor and Pollux were half-brothers. Leda was married to King Tyndareus of Sparta. At this time, she was also seduced by Zeus, so the father's of both children were uncertain. The Discouri were inseperable and grew closer with age. Castor was a famous horsetamer and Pollux, a superb boxer. When Castor was killed during a battle, Pollux was inconsolable and gave up his own life to be with his brother. Zeus rewarded their love by placing their images among the stars, where they shine side by side. Two lines of stars makes up this constellation, and two bright stars at the top of each line represent Castor and Pollux's heads.
