Himmelszelt (Canopy of Heaven) - 2. Constellation Leo
‘What is that?’ (Lily Sloane)— ‘That is the constellation Leo.’ (Zefram Cochrane)
Disgusted by incorrigible Zeus,
Hera became a jealous, vengeful wife.
Due to his relentless quest to seduce
They had to live in war and constant strife.
Throughout their realm, HE spread his pearly juice
SHE sent her lion to taint his life.
Together they wasted their chance of truce
Forgotten the beast that defied the knife.
While the fearsome lion was on the loose
Over all Nemea terror was rife.
Their king needed a hero, cunning and spruce
At last, Hercules took the monster's life.
Among stars he flies, the mighty lion
Ironically killed by Zeus’s scion
Since I saw this scene in Star Trek™ First Contact Constellation Leo is always on my mind.
