ERIDANUS

CONSTELLATION

Eridanus is the biggest sixth constellation of 88 modern constellations. Also it is one of 48 constellations of Ptolemy.

MYTHOLOGY

Eridanus was relating especially to the myth of Phaeton, who took the flying car of Heliums, but it(he,she) did not have the sufficient force to control it, and went away in different directions(addresses). The result is that sometimes the car approaches very much the land, creating deserts and burning the skin(leather) of the human beings. Zeus intervened knocking down to Phaeton with a beam.
