〜Origin of Leo ある神話〜

Because, obviously, at the moment, the moon is in the Libra, I wrote the myth of its origin.

.

In the Nemea dale, lived a cannibalistic lion with skin as hard as steel.  A number of young men went to the dale to eliminate it.  However, none returned.  One day, King Eurystheus of Tiryns heard this and list killing of this lion as one of the twelve Labors to give Heracles to expiate his mortal crimes of his wife and children.

Having brute strength, Heracles head out to kill the lion with a club and a powerful bow and arrow.  However, they were powerless against the lion with a hard skin.  Still, he hadn’t given up and with his extraordinary strength he kept strangling the lion for three days and nights.  Goddess Hera watched this scene and honored the lion for its fighting spirit and made it into a constellation because she hated Heracles.
