| ARTICLES RELATED TO Hesperides | | | | |  Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - Draco constellation - Notable featuresThe star Thuban (α Draconis) was the northern pole star around 2700 B.C., during the time of the ancient Egyptians. Due to the effects of precession, it will once again be the pole star around the year 21,000 A.D.
Although Thuban's Bayer designation is α Draconis, it is not the brightest star in the constellation. At magnitude 3.65, it is more than a magnitude fainter than the brightest star, γ Draconis (Eltanin), whose magnitude is 2.23.
There are several double stars of interest in Draco. ν Draconis (Kuma) consists of two components of magnitude 4.9, ...

Atlantis - Plato.
Plato's accounts of Atlantis are in his works Timaeus and Critias; these are the earliest known references to the mythological civilization of the Atlanteans. In his story, Critias (360 BC) describes the origins and form of Atlantis to Socrates and his guests. The dialog of Timaeus is a continuation of Critias's tale, and delivers a concise history of ancient civilizations and mentions Atlantis and its ...

| | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - Ursa Minor - Mythology The constellation of Ursa Minor, when including less visible stars which are still visible to the naked eye, vaguely resembles a bear (with an unusually long tail). In consequence, together with the nearby Ursa Major, it formed the basis of the myth of Callisto. The tail was said to have been lengthened, from that usually expected for a bear, due to the incessant spinning of the bear, by the tail, around the pole.
The variant of the story, in which it is Boötes that represents Arcas, Ursa Minor was considered to represent a dog. This ...

| | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - Ursa Major - Notable features The seven brightest stars, located in the Bear's hindquarters and tail, form the well-known Big Dipper asterism. Except for Dubhe and Alkaid, the stars of the Big Dipper all have proper motions heading towards a common point in Sagittarius. A few other such stars have been identified, and together they are called the Ursa Major Moving Group.
In addition to the Big Dipper, another asterism comes from Arab culture – the "leaps of the gazelle", a series of three pairs of stars:
ν and ξ Ursae Majoris, Alula Borealis and A ...

| | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - The Twelve Labours - The framing narrative Zeus, having made Alcmene pregnant with Herakles, proclaimed that the next son born of the house of Perseus would become king. Hera, Zeus' consort, hearing this, caused Eurystheus to be born two months early as he was of the house of Perseus, while Herakles, also of the house, was three months overdue. When he found out what had been done, Zeus was furious; however, his rash proclamation still stood.
In a fit of madness, induced by Hera, Herakles slew his wife and children; the fit then passed. Realising what he had done, he isolated ...

| | | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - The Twelve Labours - The Labours In his labours, Herakles was often accompanied by his boyfriend (an eromenos), according to some, Licymnius, or by others Iolaus, his nephew. Although he was only supposed to perform ten labours, this assistance led to him suffering two more. Eurystheus didn't count the Hydra, because Iolaus helped him, or the Augean stables, as he received payment for his work (in other versions it is because the rivers did the work).
The traditional order of the labours is:
Slay the Nemean Lion and bring back its skin.

| | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - Nyx - Nyx in Homer In Book 14 of Homer's Iliad, there is an interesting quote by Hypnos, the minor god of sleep, in which he reminds Hera of an old favor after she asks him to put Zeus to sleep. He had once before put Zeus to sleep at the bidding of Hera, allowing her to cause Herakles (who was returning by sea from Laomedon's Troy) great misfortune. Zeus was furious and would have smote Hypnos into the sea if he had not fled to Nyx, his mother, in fear. Hypnos goes on to say that Zeus, fearing to anger Nyx, held his fury at bay, and in this w ...

| | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - Atlas mythology - Cultural influence Since the middle of the sixteenth century, any collection of cartographic maps has come to be called an atlas. Gerardus Mercator was the first to use the word in this way, and he actually depicted the astronomer king.
Atlas continues to be a commonly used icon in western culture (and advertising), as a symbol of strength or stoic endurance. He is often shown kneeling on one knee while supporting an enormous round globe on his back and shoulders. The globe originally represented the celestial sphere of ancient astronomy, but the use of ...

| | | | | | | Hesperides: Encyclopedia II - Atlantis - Location hypotheses
Atlantis - The Mediterranean.
Since Donnelly's day, there have been dozens—perhaps hundreds—of locations proposed for Atlantis. Some are more or less serious attempts at legitimate scholarly or archaeological works; others have been made by psychic or other pseudoscientific means. Many of the proposed sites share some of the characteristics of the Atlantis story (water, catastrophic end, relevant time period), but none have been proven conclusively to be the historical Atlantis. Most of the historical propose ...

Atlantis - Nineteenth century.
With rare exceptions, such as Francis Bacon's book The New Atlantis, interest in Atlantis mostly languished, until, some 2,200 years after Plato, the 1882 publication of Atlantis: the Antediluvian World by Ignatius Donnelly. Donnelly took Plato's account of Atlantis seriously and attempted to establish that all known ancient civilizations wer ...
