Cerberus (constellation) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cerberus (constellation)
Cerberus is an obsolete constellation created by Hevelius, whose stars are now included in the constellation Hercules. It was depicted as a three-headed snake that Hercules is holding in his hand. The constellation is no longer in use. This constellation "figure typified the serpent ... infesting the country around Taenarum the Μέτωπον of Greece, the modern Cape Matapan."〔Richard Hinckley Allen : ''Star-Names and Their Meanings''. G. E. Stechert, 1899. p. 160〕 The presence of Cerberus (Kerberos) at Taenarum (Tainaron) is mentioned by Strabōn, Statios, and Seneca.〔http://www.theoi.com/Ther/KuonKerberos.html〕 John Senex combined this constellation with the likewise obsolete constellation Ramus Pomifer, an apple branch held by Hercules, in his 1721 star map to create Cerebus et Ramus.〔http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/cerberus.htm〕 ==Notes==
