There are a number of constellations in the sky and each of those constellations is provided with its peculiar history and description. It is the astrology a science that deals with constellations and the stars the constellations consist of. Though, fancy that the origin of the names of constellation is of mythic nature. There are off course the constellations that were discovered recently and they are provided with modern names, but most of the constellations are ancient and named after the mythic creatures and heroes. So, the origin of Taurus constellation is explained by ancient people in such way: it is an image of the supreme god Zeus who had often turned into a bull.
