Alpha Hydri (α Hyi, α Hydri) is a
star in the
constellation Hydrus. It is sometimes informally known as the
Head of Hydrus.
[8] It should not be confused with
Alpha Hydrae (Alphard) in the constellation Hydra. Alpha Hydri is one of only three stars in the constellation Hydrus that is above the fourth
visual magnitude. This star can be readily located as it lies to the south and west of the prominent star
Achernar in the constellation
Eridanus.
[9]Alpha Hydri belongs to
spectral class F0V and has
apparent magnitude +2.9. It is 1.8 times the
radius of the Sun,
[6] about 810 million years old,
[5] and is approximately 71
light years from
Earth. The
space velocity components of this star are U = −14, V = −14 and W = -2 km/s.
[10]X-ray sourceAlpha Hydri emits X-rays similar to
Altair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achernar Achernar (α Eri, α Eridani,
Alpha Eridani), sometimes spelled
Achenar, is the brightest star in the
constellation Eridanus and the
ninth-brightest star in the night sky. Of the top ten apparent brightest stars (excluding our Sun)—Sirius, Canopus, Alpha Centauri, Arcturus, Vega, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Achernar and Betelguese—Achernar is the hottest and bluest. It lies at the southern tip of the
constellation.
The extreme rotation speed has
flattened Achernar.
Achernar is a bright, blue, B3-type star of six to eight
solar masses lying approximately 144
light-years (44
pc) away. Although classified as a
main-sequence (dwarf) star, it is about 3,000 times more luminous than the
Sun. Achernar is in the deep southern sky and never rises above 33°N, roughly the latitude of
Dallas, Texas. Achernar is best seen from the southern hemisphere in November; it is
circumpolar below 33°S.
Until about March 2000, Achernar and
Fomalhaut were the two
first-magnitude stars furthest in angular distance from any other first-magnitude star in the
celestial sphere.
Antares, in the constellation of
Scorpius, is now the most isolated first-magnitude star although Antares is located in a constellation with many bright second magnitude stars whereas the stars surrounding Achernar and Fomalhaut are considerably fainter.
Achernar is the least spherical star in the Milky Way studied to date.[2] It spins so rapidly that its equatorial diameter is more than 50% greater than its polar diameter. 
Alpha (α)
Eridanus,
Achernar, is a white star situated in the mouth of the River.
The history of the star: Achernar Achernar, is from Arabic
Al Ahir al Nahr, "the End of the River", nearly its present position in the constellation, about 32° from the south pole which is in the constellation
Octans, but the {p.218} title was first given to the star now lettered theta (θ,
Acamar), the farthest in the Stream known by Arabian astronomers.
Titles for alpha (α) from 16th and 17th century astronomers transcribing from various Arabic sources:
Acharnar pro Achar-nahar vel Acharnarim, and
Enar,
Acarnar,
Acarnaharim and
Acharnaar,
Acharnarin,
Achironnahri, while
Achenar and
Archarnar are still occasionally used.
This star is supposed to be one of
Dante's
Tre Facelle, notwithstanding its invisibility from Italy.
Chinese astronomers knew it as
Shwuy Wei.
The second-century A.D. Greek astronomer Ptolemy did not mention it, although he could have seen it from the latitude of Alexandria, 31° 11',— a fact, among others, which argues that his catalogue was not based upon original observations, but drawn from the now lost catalogue of Hipparchos (circa 190-120 B.C.), compiled at Rhodes, more than 5° further north, from which place Achernar was not visible.

Robson says this star is symbolized as the "Cherub and Sword". [
Robson*, p.116.]
The astrological influences of the constellation EridanusLegend: Eridanus represents the river Padus or Po into which Phaeton fell when slain by Jupiter for having set the world on fire by misguiding the chariot of his father Phoebus. [
Robson*, p.44.]
Influences: According to Ptolemy all the stars with the exception of
Achernar are like Saturn.
Eridanus gives a love of knowledge and science, much travel and many changes, a position of authority, but danger of accidents especially at sea and of drowning. [
Robson*, p.44.]

Gustave Doré. Arachne (illustration to
Dante's Purgatorio).
In Greco-Roman mythology,
Arachne (
/əˈrækniː/) was a great mortal weaver who boasted that her skill was greater than that of
Minerva, the
Latin parallel of
Pallas Athena, goddess of crafts.
Arachne refused to acknowledge that her knowledge came, in part at least, from the goddess. The offended goddess set a contest between the two weavers. According to
Ovid,
[1] the goddess was so envious of the magnificent tapestry and the mortal weaver's success, and perhaps offended by the girl's choice of subjects (the loves and transgressions of the gods), that she destroyed the tapestry and loom and slashed the girl's face. “Not even Pallas nor blue-fevered Envy \ Could damn Arachne's work. \ The brown haired goddess Raged at the girl's success, struck through her loom, Tore down the scenes of wayward joys in heaven.″
[2] Ultimately, the goddess turned Arachne into a
spider. Arachne simply means "spider" (ἀράχνη) in
Greek.

FUTURE SHADOWS OF THE PAST
"A most wondrous thing the Shadow is, a redeemer in all to succour;
it can go where the light cannot abide, seemingly banished, it is not.
For where the light is, the darkness flees, no longer present to endure;
so to become illuminated is its destined journey and its troubled lot.
But without the light, no Shadow can be cast, its such a splendid key;
the dimensiond reduce in space from three to two and all in just the one.
Betwixt the light and the darkness it is and part of both for all to see;
the Shadow of the body, does it not merge all in its rule under the sun?
Whatsoever can cast a Shadow, must be a most wondrous thing to relay;
as nature's very own offspring, the young ones grow towards their final goal.
Enabled to bring peace to so many things appearing apart and so far away;
the reconciliation for the suffering body with its spirit and its scattered soul."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_Osiris_and_Isis Myth of Osiris and IsisFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to:
navigation,
searchThe
Myth of Osiris and Isis, concerning the
deities of
Egyptian mythology Osiris,
Isis,
Horus, and
Set, became one of the most important and powerful in
Egyptian mythology during the
New Kingdom. The myth concerns the death of Osiris and the birth of Horus.
The coffin and 14 parts
The Egyptian
Trinity or Triad:
Osiris,
Horus and
IsisThe original form of the myth states that Osiris was killed by a wooden
sarcophagus secretly being made to his measurements by Set, who was jealous of Osiris's position as king, and so plotted to kill him and take his place. A party had been held where the coffin was offered to whoever could fit inside. A few people tried to fit in, but to no avail. Osiris was encouraged to try, but as soon as he lay back, the lid slammed on him and was locked. It was then sealed with lead and thrown into the Nile. Upon hearing that Osiris was gone, Isis set out to look for him. She was afraid without proper ceremonies and burial Osiris would not be able to go to the place of the dead. She later learned that the coffin had floated down the Nile river up to the coast of Byblos (now in modern day Lebanon) and got embedded in the trunk of a cedar tree. She also learned that the cedar tree had been taken and used as a pillar to support a palace for the king of Byblos. When traveling back, along the Nile River, she left the coffin in an area of marshland. Set, while hunting, finds Osiris' coffin and dismembered him into 14 parts, scattering them across the land of Egypt. Each part represented one of the 14 full moons (each year has 12 to 14 full moons).
[1]Once again Isis set out to look for the pieces and she was able to find 13 of the 14 parts, with the help of Nephthys, Set's sister-wife, but was unable to find the 14th, as it had been eaten by a fish. Instead, she fashioned a
phallus out of gold and sang a song around Osiris until he came back to life.
Osiris was resurrected. He could have proper ceremonies and burial.
Due to this experience, Osiris became Lord of the Dead, and the Afterlife.
[2]The moon and the oxyrhynchusIn late Egyptian thought, the righteous dead were sometimes said to become the stars, and thus the moon was occasionally seen as having a connection to Osiris, lord of the dead.
[3] As a death and resurrection legend, in which evil seeks to destroy a deity, thus bringing darkness, it thus developed an association with the
lunar cycle, in which the moon appears to be destroyed by darkness, and is then brought back to life. Thus it later became said that Osiris had been killed by being dismembered into 13 parts, each part representing one of the 13
full moons seen each year (there are roughly 13
lunar months per year). Another interpretation is that the pieces were 14 (they number up to sixteen in some versions) were the phases of a single moon's cycle (one sliver cut off each night for 14 days, then reassembled over the next 14 days—see Janet McCrickard,
Eclipse of the Sun, 1990). The original form of Set's murder of Osiris was incorporated into this later version, though it was said that the attempt had failed when Isis and Nepthys found the coffin and rescued it.
[citation needed]Consequently, the story became that before resurrecting Osiris, Isis put together 13 of the 14 parts, but was unable to find the 14th, his penis, which was eaten by the
oxyrhynchus fish (a fish with an unusual curved snout resembling depictions of Set). So Isis created a phallus for him, and then attempted to revive him. In some versions, Isis sang a song around Osiris until he came back to life. She then took the form of a kite and flew around his body in order to conceive Horus. In other tellings of the story, Isis grows wings and hovers over Osiris. She breathes life into him in order to revive him and conceive Horus. Being simultaneously alive and dead, Osiris became the god and king of the afterlife.
Development and mysteryAs a
life-death-rebirth deity, Horus/Osiris became a reflection of the annual cycle of crop harvesting as well as reflecting people's desires for a successful
afterlife, and so the legend became extremely important, outstripping all others. The legend's ventures into both life and afterlife meant that religious rites associated with the legend eventually began to take on aspects of a
mystery religion, where initiates were said to be able to partake in Horus/Osiris' resurrection, purging themselves of past ills, and entering a new life.
In
Greece, the
Demeter-
Persephone death-resurrection
cult at Eleusis, had a similar nature, and began at approximately the same time. Many centuries later this led to interest in the Egyptian
cult by the
Greeks, including
Plato. Eventually, a derived form of the Egyptian cult, having been infused with
Platonism, spread to areas of Greek influence, particularly during the
Hellenistic era of control over Egypt. As the cult referred to foreign gods, the forms of the cult in Greek nations were adopted to describe suitable local deities and merged and expanded to include elements from the local cultures. This produced a collection of closely related versions of the cult, whose central deities had been deformed to be similar to the Egyptian cult, and were by the 1st century BC collectively known as
Osiris-Dionysus.
