Look skyward and experience the stories ancient Greeks told about the gods, animals, and heroes in the sky! It’s fun to know the stories that originated long ago when people first gazed at the same star-studded patterns we see today. These ancient tales, once told to explain events and describe human emotions, are just as appealing in modern times.

“As a Sagittarian, was I predestined to coach university archery and to be launched like an arrow into the sky? Mythology and astronomy will always connect ancient lives to ours and Dot to Dot in the Sky is a remarkable story of how and why.”
