The Hyades were daughters of Atlas (by either Pleione or Aethra, one of the Oceanides) and sisters of Hyades in most tellings, although one version gives their parents as Hyas and Boeotia; the Hyades are sisters to the Pleiades and the Hesperide. The Hyades were daughters of Atlas (by either Pleione or Aethra, one of the Oceanides) and sisters of Hyas in most tellings, although one version gives their parents as Hyas and Boeotia. The Hyades are sisters to the Pleiades and the Hesperides. The main myth concerning them is envisioned to account for their collective name and to provide an etiology for their weepy raininess: Hyas was killed in a hunting accident and the Hyades wept from their grief. They were changed into a cluster of stars, the Hyades, set in the head of Taurus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyades_(mythology) |
