What is the story of the Cygnus constellation ?

i was wondering what is the story of the Cygnus constellation.. isnt it usually seen in Summer, what is the apparent magnitude of the major stars of Cygnus and what color are the major stars in Cygnus?|||Rather than type out answers to all of that, I'll point you to a good Wikipedia article on the subject.|||The Swan is directly overhead during late evening of August and September.


Deneb - apparent magnitude 1.3 Very bluish white. The solar system is moving toward Deneb at a speed of 250 kmps.


Albireo - apparent magnitude 3.1 double star, larger is gold, smaller is blue.


Sadr - magnitude 2.2
