he ancient Greeks contributed more than
the Olympic Games to the world. It was
in Athens that people first invented
democracy, a government by the
people, for the people. Ancient
Greeks also contributed greatly
to modern astronomy.

The
North
Star
For thousands of years, people
have looked at the stars in the sky
and imagined shapes and patterns.
The ancient Greeks saw that some
stars formed groups that reminded
them of people or animals or things
like arrows and crowns. Today, we
call groups of stars that make up
pictures constellations.

The Little Dipper or
The Little Bear
Star Power
The North Star or Polaris is not the biggest or the
brightest star, but it is the most important. It stays
in the same spot and can be used to find other stars.
Travelers use it to find their directions when they
don’t have a compass. The two stars at the tip of The
Big Dipper’s bowl help you to find the North Star.

An ancient Greek legend tells the story
of a beautiful woman named Callisto who
loved her son Arcas. One day the goddess
queen, Hera, became angry with Callisto
and turned her into a bear.
(Ursa Major)
(Cygnus)
When Arcas went hunting he came upon
a bear in the woods. It was his mother,
but she couldn’t tell him.
Dragon
(Draco)
Arcas was about to kill the bear when the king of the
gods, Zeus, changed him into a bear too. Zeus lifted the bears by their tails
and swung them into the sky. This caused their tails to stretch and that is
the reason the Great and Little Bears have long tails.
