"The Hare"
Mythology: Although not a major constellation in the Southern Hemisphere, it does have some classical mythology associated with it: Hermes, Messenger to the Olympian Gods, placed the Hare in the night sky to honor its swiftness and agility. It is interesting to note that Lepus is located right under the Great Hunter of Orion. If Orion the Hunter were to spot the Lepus, the hare would be swift and agile enough to avoid capture.
Interesting Trivia: Some resources connect the constellation of Lepus to the popular Easter Bunny. According to the accounts, the hare was actually a bird that was transformed by Ostara -- the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring. To compensate for its new inability to fly, the Hare was given speed and agility. As you may already imagine, the legend claims that once a year the Hare lays eggs, like it did before it was transformed. So, in the springtime, people would hunt for the special eggs laid by the Hare, or as we call it today -- the Easter Bunny!
