Boötes

    Bootes' history is uncertain, by even the ancient Greeks. The name Bootes is translated into "The Bear Driver" indeed it is, as the constellation chases the other constellations Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor. Bootes is also called "the Hunter", as he with his hounds hunts the bears. Another name for him is the herdsman, he is called that because of his journey around the pole as his task of keeping the celestial beasts together. The named stars in this constellation are Alpha Bootes ("bear-guard"), Beta Bootes ("cattleman"), Gamma Bootes, Epsilon Bootes ("lions"), Eta Bootes ("the solitary"), Theta Bootes, Iota Bootes, Kappa 2 Bootes, Mu 1 Bootes ("shepherds crook"), and 38 Bootes.
