the babylonians identified sagittarius god nergal, strange centaur-like creature firing arrow bow. depicted wings, 2 heads, 1 panther head , 1 human head, scorpion s stinger raised above more conventional horse s tail. sumerian name pabilsag composed of 2 elements – pabil, meaning elder paternal kinsman , sag, meaning chief, head . name may translated forefather or chief ancestor . figure reminiscent of modern depictions of sagittarius.


greek mythology

in greek mythology, sagittarius identified centaur: half human, half horse. however, perhaps due greeks adoption of sumerian constellation, confusion surrounds identity of archer. identify sagittarius centaur chiron, son of philyra , cronus , tutor jason, said have changed himself horse escape jealous wife, rhea. since there 2 centaurs in sky, identify chiron other, known constellation centaurus. or, alternative tradition holds, chiron deviced constellations sagittarius , centaurus guide argonauts in quest golden fleece.


a competing mythological tradition, espoused eratosthenes, identified archer not centaur satyr crotus, son of pan, greeks credited invention of archery. according myth, crotus went hunting on horseback , lived among muses, requested zeus place him in sky, seen demonstrating archery.


the arrow of constellation points towards star antares, heart of scorpion , , sagittarius stands poised attack should scorpius ever attack nearby hercules, or avenge scorpius s slaying of orion.
