In the silence of the lake,
Waves lap softly onto the broken legs.
"Sleep in peace at the bottom of the blue Heaven."
With the merciful voice of Hera,the goddess of gods,
the figure of the big crab goes far up into the sky
to become the stars,shining dimly and deeply.

The twins were born under the wings of the Swan,Zeus.
Castor inherited tenderness from their mother.
Pollux inherited immortality from their father.
When Castor was wounded to die in a war,
Pollux cried to Zeus, the Almighty,
" Take away my immortality and let us die together."
Thus,the twin stars have been twinkling side by side
in the eternal sky.

In the Golden Age,gods and people lived together on the ground.
As people got more desire and disobeyed the Divine Providence,
gods retreated altogether back to Heaven.
Dike,the maiden goddess of justice,trusting human nature,
remained alone on the ground to persuade them.
But no heart would listen to her.
So she threw her immortality up into the sky
to change herself into the stars of Scale,Libra,
asking eternally what is right and what is wrong.

Demeter,the goddess of agriculture,
rescued her only daughter Peresphone
who had been abducted by the god of Underworld.
But she was bewitched to stay in Underworld
for four months every year.
When chilly wind takes her away after harvest,
Mother Falls into a deep sorrow.
Thus cold winter comes.
How earnestly we hope spring to come soon !
