What is the myth of canis major?
The Greek mythology - there are a lot of different ones, the one I've heard is that there was a hunting dog Laelaps that was inescapable. Laelaps was set on a fox who was uncatchable. The inescapable dog chased the uncatchable fox. Finally Zeus turned them both to stone to end the paradox. Then he put them in the sky - Laelaps as Canis Majoris and the fox as a minor constellation Vulpecula.Hope this helps!
