ΑΡΑΤΟΣ-ARATOS
305-240 Π.Χ./B.C.
On
either side the Axis ends in two Poles, but thereof the one is not
seen, whereas the other faces us in the north high above the ocean.
Encompassing it two Bears [Ursa Major and Minor] wheel together –
wherefore they are also called the Wains.
Καί
μιν πειραίνουσι δύω πόλοι ἀμφοτέρωθεν·
ἀλλ'
ὁ μὲν οὐκ ἐπίοπτος, ὁ δ' ἀντίος ἐκ
βορέαο
ὑψόθεν ὠκεανοῖο. Δύω δέ μιν
ἀμφὶς ἔχουσαι
Ἄρκτοι ἅμα τροχόωσι·
τὸ δὴ καλέονται Ἅμαξαι.
