Each of these patterns of stars holds a legend which have passed down through the Greeks. The constellations play an important role in modern astronomy. They bring order to the sky by dividing it into smaller segments, providing a base for naming celestial objects. (http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/~kaler/sow/const.html). Until this day, the Greek's stellar observations have helped us with our modern science.

The Rural Deities

This myth talks about Pan, the god of the woods and fields. Though he enjoyed exploring valleys, mountains, and other parts of nature, he was also dreaded by those who passed the forests at night.

Uncountable amounts of plants and animals have caused fatalities to people that we never saw coming. Shark attacks, poisonus plants, insects, and even just wilderness itself are examples of threats to us humans. Inspite of all its beauties, nature will always play some dirty trick on us.
