Greek mythology and the Constellation Ara
|
The constellation Ara is normally associated with the altar first used by the Olympian gods as offerings were made and alliance formed before the Titanomachy.
Alternatively Ara, as the altar, was the representation of the altar of King Lycaon on which he sacrificed his own son, before serving the corpse up as part of the banquet for assembled gods. |
