The constellation of Cancer was not really "discovered or found" at any point in time but was passed on from ancient times through myth and folklore. It got the name we know today from the Greeks and is associated with the myth of Hercules. It is important to understand that the pattern of stars now known as the constellation Cancer, and any constellation for that matter, meant different things to different people throughout the ages.
