The Pleiades were 7 sisters: Maia, Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Taygete, Electra, and Merope, daughters of Atlas, a Titan commanded by the god Zeus to hold up the earth, and Pleione, the mythical protectress of sailors.

After a chance meeting with the hunter Orion, the Pleiades and their mother became the objects of his pursuit. To protect them from Orion’s relentless amorous advances, Zeus changed them into a star constellation in the heavens. It is among the star clusters nearest to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
