Aries

The ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, Persians, and Greeks all named this group of stars the ram. Aries the ram is the first sign of the ancient zodiac and has many stories associated with it. In Greek mythology for example the king of Thessaly had two children who were being abused by their evil stepmother. Sent by the god Hermes, the ram with the Golden Fleece swooped down from the sky to rescue them.

Mythographers agree that Aries is the ram with the Golden Fleece that was the sought- after- treasure in the tale of Jason and the Argonauts.
