Aldebaran and The Celestial Camels
Aldebaran and The Celestial Camels :
Aldebaran, the most luminous star in the constellation of Taurus, fell in love with Electra, the most beautiful star of the Pleiades and he went to ask for her hand in marriage. He had gifts of a herd of camels, but on the way he was attacked by another aspirant for her hand, Alcyon.
The fight between them is not yet over. Even now, on calm nights, it is possible to see pale blue Electra followed by red Alcyon and then by Aldebaran with his big herd of celestial camels, making up the constellation of the Hyades.
