Aquarius - The origin and description of the name of the zodiac sign.
This zodiac sign is associated with the constellation Aquarius. The word Aqua in the Latin name of the constellation means "water". The ancient Egyptians identified the pale stars of Aquarius with the gods of the Nile and believed that it was this constellation that marked the beginning of the annual life-giving flood.
In Greek mythology, this theme appears in the story of the great flood sent to Earth by Zeus.
In Greek tradition, Aquarius is represented as a young man pouring water from a jug. There are several versions of the story explaining the origin of the character holding the pitcher. One of them depicts Ganymede, the most beautiful man on Earth. He was the son of Tros, king of Troy, after whom the city was named. Zeus, fascinated by Ganymede, wanted him to be around. Turning into an eagle, he kidnapped the young man and took him to Olympus, where he served the gods, giving them water mixed with nectar and ambrosia. That is why the constellation Eagle is located in the sky near Aquarius.
Aquarius is not a name, but the name of a mythological action or character. The most famous counterparts of Aquarius in mythology are Ganymede and Aristeus.
