Blog post 1: Myth of Stars


I am Leah Fe R. Ayop. Its interested me to right about stars because when I was in Bohol I saw a a beautiful starry night its like the dark sky was full of millions of lights. I remember it while I was thinking about my topic for the blog. That's inspired me to write about the stars as my topic. When I was alone at night and feel afraid I just find my self gazing at the starry night. 

Stars that shining like a diamond in the night star. Its like a millions of light that watching you under. We all know that stars is a natural luminous body visible in the sky especially at night. Stars also serves as light in our night. Watching at stars in the night sky made you feel relax or make you feel peace in your personalities. Gazing at it make you want to reach it but its out of reach. Its just like wish upon a star.


According to the article The return of Astraea by Frederick Alfred De Armas in the website books.google
"Astraea was a Greek goddess of justice and innocence. She was a star maiden."

In this article it explains how was the life of Astraea when she was in the earth. She experienced in the wickedness of the humanity of the people. It shows how Astraea suffer and abandon the earth during the iron age. It states in this article what are the personalities of Astraea being the daughter of Zeus and Themis. Astrea the last immortal was the celestial virgin. Its explain here why she was the last immortal that live on the human world. Why she return to the heaven and become the constellation of Virgo. I thought that suffering in the wickedness of the humanity and being injustice of people made her back to the heaven. Even though that Astraea is a immortal she witness and suffer in the human world because of being greedy of the human. She was the associated with the goddess of justice Dike. Being the constellation of Virgo reflect with justice.


According to the article Hesperos by Sarah Pernick in the website Encyclopedia Mythica.
"Eosphorus means bearer of light. Hesperos means the bearer of dawn."

In this article it explain the personalities of Hesperos and his brother being the star of planet Venus. Why this personalities associated them of being the evening star and morning star of the Venus. How their personalities conflated to each other. What life does they have living in human earth and what struggles they have in. They were the son of the dawn goddess. It says in this article that bearer of light and the bearer of dawn often translated as Lucifer. How it came up being the evening star and morning star. It explain how they got the names bearer of light and bearer of dawn. It explains how the Ancient Greeks agreed that evening star and morning star are same celestial objects.

I conclude that there are many history or Greek mythology about stars. Its interesting to know about the God of stars, the star maiden and even about the evening star and the morning star. If you read thing about them you will learn how they were called that way like it was their nicknames. Reading and researching about this things its like your back in past life or time. You can imagine the things that happen many years back then. Stars is not just a heavenly bodies that give us light at night its also a way to learn things happen in earth many years ago. How humans become wicked, greedy and forget about justice. That's why in mythology about stars it explains how immortals become Gods in their on ways in life and its a interesting topic.

The Gods of star, star maiden, evening star and the morning star the things that they experienced as obstacles or problems is just like what many of us have. It may be a struggle but just like a star in the night sky we must just keep on shining even though its tough on us. According to Albert Einstein “Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.” Its not like we can change what happened many years ago. Mythology just give info about the immortal days we have that's why we have God of star and star maiden. That's my report in stars in mythology.
