1. Aratus Phaenomena, translated by Kidd D. (Cambridge, 1997). Another widely available translation is by Mair; G. R. it appears in the Loeb Classical Library series and is titled Aratus (Cambridge, Mass. 1921, with many subsequent reprints). A case can be made that the earliest surviving presentation of the Greek constellations was by Hesiod (The astronomy, transl. by Evelyn-White H. G., in the volume of the Loeb Classical Library series entitled Hesiod (Cambridge, Mass. 1914), 66–71). However, Hesiod merely mentions the mythology associated with the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Great Bear, Bootes, and Orion. The absence of any mention of non-prominent star groups has inevitably lead to speculation that the Greeks had few other constellations at this time, although such a conclusion is unwarranted. Unfortunately, for the purposes of this paper, neither the works of Homer nor those of Hesiod contain astronomical lore that can be used to derive dates or latitudes with any useful accuracy.
