The Aries Myth
The constellation Aries is linked to the Chrysomallus, the golden-fleeced ram of Greek mythology. This ram rescued the royal children Phrixus and Helle, and its fleece later became the quest of the Argonauts. The Ram's bold, sacrificial, and heroic nature reflects the Aries spirit of adventure and valor.
