Twelve constellations and ancient Greek mythology-Pisces with mother and child linked to heart

One day, when the sky was clear and the wind was breezy, the gods held a banquet by the river outside the temple of Olympus. During the banquet, there was a sound of bamboo and silk, and the atmosphere was quite lively. At this moment, suddenly there was a piercing cry-the big monster brought the wind!

When the gods saw something bad, they fled in all directions. Zeus turned into a bird, Apollo into a crow, Hera into a bull ... all of them fled in the form of animals. Just like the monsters in China, they are human beings at ordinary times and become animals when they are in distress.

In a panic, Venus, the god of love and beauty, and her son little love god Cupid turned into fish and fled into the river. In order to avoid being separated from her son, Venus tied herself and her son's fishtail with a ribbon and escaped smoothly.

Pisces now represents tenderness, which I think has something to do with the legend of maternal love. There are many stories about Venus. Why did she not become a constellation when she had an affair with Ares, and when she grabbed the golden apples with Hera and Athena, but when she became a fish with her son, she became a constellation, shining through the ages.

Perhaps, when a person has a child, her brightest light is maternal love.

The patron saint of Pisces is Poseidon, which is very logical. As a fish, is there a better place to live than the sea?

However, at this point, I unconsciously imagined Poseidon as a father, not an ordinary patron saint, and even hoped that he would only protect these two fish well, just as a father only protects his wife and children.
