Reply:I like this one.


I'll start off with some of my observations:


1. Hindu and Greek cultures shared far too many things. Their mythologies run parallel, but the Greek mythology is now supplanted by Christian theology and remains of story value, only. What is more, all the mythology is translated in to the Stellar constellations and their lore.


2. There is lot of exchange in astronomy. It is difficult to establish which specific topic of astronomy is original to whom. Some, like the works of 'Varaha mihira', 'Brahma gupta' and 'Aryabhata' (I have his work with me) have the stamp of originality.


3. there are 24 letters in Greek alphabet starting with 'alpha' and 'Beta'. The first two Nakshatras (Asterisms) are named 'Aswini' and 'Bharani' conforming to greek alphabet, which may not be a coincidence. There are three Nakshatras with 'poorva' (pre-) and 'uttara' (post-) prefixes before their names. That mens originally there might have been 24 nakshatras to match Greek version (and their alphabet). Later, to account for the 27 days of the moon for a lunar (Siderial) month, 3 of them doubled into 6. Probably Greeks named after their letters.


Now, the Nakshatras:


1. As`wini AlphaAries


2. Bharani Delta Aries


3. Krittika Pleiades[M45]


4. Rohini 'Aldebaran' (Alpha Tauris)


5. Mrga s`ira Pi Orionis


6. Ardra 'Betelgeuse' (Alpha Orionis)


7. Punarvasu 'Castor' (Alpha-)%26amp;'Pollux' (Beta Geminorum)


8. Pushyami 'Praesepe' ('M44' in Cancer)


9. As`lesha Lamda Leo


10.Makha 'Regulus' (Alpha Leonis)


11.Poorv Phalguni Theta Leonis


12.Uttara Phalguni Beta Leonis


13.Hasta Corvus .. 5 satrs shaped like 'hand'


14.Chitta Spica (Alpha Virgo)


15.Swati 'Arcturus' (Alpha Bootes)


16.Vis`akha Alpha Librae


18.Anuradha Delta Scorpionis


19.Jyest'ha 'Antares' (Alpha Scorpionis)


20. Moola Lamda Scorpionis


21.P. Ashad'ha Sigma Sagittarius


22.U. Ashad'hs Delta Sagittarius


23.S`ravanam 'Altair'(Alpha Aquila)


24.Dhanishta Delta Delphinus


25.S`atabhisham Sigma Aquarii


26.P.Bhadra Alpha Pegasi


27.U.Bhadra Gama Pegasi


28.Revathi Beta Piscii


Some like 'Arcturus', 'Altair' and Delphinus constellation even though far from Ecliptic were chosen as there are only faint stars nearby. 'M' stands for Messier list of Nebulae, Globular and other clusters.
Reply:The ancient Hindis (is that right?) and the ancient Greeks saw different images in the stars. They are not the same.





edit:


After November answered I checked again and seems I am wrong.





(i) Ursa major (or Great bear) 'Saptarishi'


(ii) Ursa minor (or Little bear) 'Laghu Saptarishi' or 'Dhruva Matsaya'


(iii) Orion (or Hunter) 'Vyadha' or 'Mirga'


(iv) Scorpio 'Vrishchika'


(v) Pleides ' Kruttika'


(vi) Cassiopeia 'Sarmishtha'
