Le Signe du Lion
Legend of Leo
Legend 1
In the face of the challenger, the king's demeanor is straightforward and single-handedly, which is a symbol of Leo. It is said that the origin of Leo is related to He Wuli.
Hurley is the illegitimate son of Zeus and mortals. He was born with unparalleled divine power, so Sheila was jealous. When He Wuli was a baby, he put two giant snakes in the cradle, hoping to kill He Wuli. Unexpectedly, He Wuli killed them with a smile and was regarded as "the greatest hero of mankind" since childhood.
Sheila certainly won't give up killing He Wuli because of one failure. She deliberately drove He Wuli crazy and hit his wife. He Wuli was very sorry and sad after waking up. She decided to wash away her sins by abstinence. He came to Messina and asked the king to send him a task. Who knows that the king got instructions from Sheila, so he gave him twelve arduous tasks, which must be completed within twelve days, one of which was to kill a man-eating lion.
This lion usually lives in the forest. He Wuli went into the forest to look for him, but the forest was silent. All the animals, birds, deer and squirrels were eaten by lions. When he was tired, he Wuli began to doze off. Just then, the giant lion came out with his head held high from a cave with two holes. He Wuli opened her eyes and looked, oh, my God! A man-eating lion is five times as big as an ordinary lion, and its body is covered with animal blood, which adds a bit of horror. He Wuli shot him with an arrow first, and then hit him with a wooden stick. It's no use. This giant lion is invulnerable. In the end, He Wuli had to fight hand-to-hand with the lion. The process was very tragic, but in the end he strangled the lion with brute force.
Although the man-eating lion died, Sheila threw the man-eating lion into the air to commemorate his courage in fighting with He Wuli and became a Leo.
Legend 2
Legend has it that Hercules was the illegitimate child of Zeus. When he was born, he was cursed by the jealous Queen Hera, so he had to face twelve arduous and dangerous tests in his life. The first is to fight the invincible and powerful lion. After several struggles, the fearless Hercules finally killed the lion. So Zeus lifted the lion to the sky to show off Hercules' achievements. People can see it in the southern sky in late April.
Legend 3
