What is a myth about the virgo constellation that is not roman or greek?

There is none because all the constellations were named by the Greeks after the gods and goddesses and some of the mythological creatures like the Hydra monster which terrorized the sea near Greece and the Minotaur.What is a myth about the virgo constellation that is not roman or greek?the constellations that we identify in astronomy are the ones mapped and named by the ancient Greeks and Romans and those are the only stories available for those constellations.



However, if you read other traditions that have spent any time viewing the night sky you will find that they have their own constellations with their own stories.



so while you won't find a story about the constellation we call Virgo in Chinese mythology, you will find, in the general area of Virgo, a different arrangement of stars called K脿ng.



pick a culture, do a search on it and see if they had their own constellations and what they called them.
