Facts About Pisces

• The two fish that make up the constellation Pisces are said to be the representation of Aphrodite and Eros, who plunged into the River Euphrates in an attempt to escape the wrath of the fire God, Typhon. The mother and son were transformed by two fish, Pisces, as a means of protecting them from the fire god. In turn, the fish earned themselves a place in the heavens, tethered at the rear fins to ensure that they would never be separated from each other’s side.
• The location of the constellation Pisces is said to be in the expanse of the sky that is referred to as "The Sea."
