Constellation Eagle (ftnÌk.)
This is the Wise One’s eagle (Aquila in our nomenclature), and the symbol of his pride. He is depicted as flying to the northeast along the street of snow (the Milky Way) to meet the Prince. The Wise One’s other animal is the Serpent.
According to another legend, this is the Zeus’ eagle, who is about to capture the Merman to make him the gods’ cupbearer.

The 92 naked-eye stars
In the ‘Our designation’ column, letters (sometimes with superscript numbers) in front of constellation symbols refer to Bayer’s catalogue or to variable star designations, and numbers to Flamsteed’s catalogue. Row colours roughly approximate the stars’ colours. The links lead to the stars’ entries in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
