Long before telescopes gave us distance, the ancient Greeks gave the heavens meaning. As they looked aloft, they did not see cold points of light, but stories — heroes frozen mid-trial, lovers bound together in permanence, monsters defeated yet immortalized.

They gave us figures like Orion, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia, mapping the human condition onto the night sky. The stars became less a mystery than a mirror of humanity — reflecting ambition, hubris, sacrifice, and fate — reminding them, and now us, that even in the vastness of the cosmos, we have always searched first for ourselves.
