Constellation Prince (textèx.)
According to legend, the Prince (Perseus in our tradition) was sent on a quest by the Queen that started at her Rosebush; see there for more information.
He is depicted with a high crown and the Princess’s departure presents in his hands: a mask and a dead snake.

The 121 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.
