Constellation Wolf (xrÌw.)
This is the Witch’s wolf, which is killed by the Centaur or, according to another story, by a child who then became a king. There is also a legend in which it is wandering between worlds, angry because it belongs nowhere, until it is defeated by a dark princess (not the Princess).
The Wolf corresponds to our contellation Lupus.

The 118 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.
