4 figures

Ladon

some tellings place Ladon among the stars as the constellation Draco, coiled near Hercules and the pole in the night sky, a lasting image of his endless watch

Laelaps

To resolve this impossible situation, Zeus is said to have turned both creatures to stone and cast them into the stars, forever immortalizing their legendary chase in the night sky.

Teumessian Fox

The fox's story intertwines with that of Laelaps, a dog destined to catch everything it chased, creating a paradox that ultimately led Zeus to turn both creatures into stone and place them among the stars.

Nemean Lion

In some tellings the constellation Leo commemorates the lion, said to have been placed among the stars by Zeus or Hera after its death.
