What is the stories that was orginated about the constellation Virgo?|||Virgo was Ceres, the mother (patroness) of crop fertility. She is usually pictured carrying a spike (a shief, a shock) of some cereal crop. Spica is the brightest star in that "spike."
|||Ceres, goddess of agriculture.
When the Sun gets to that constellation, it is time to harvest the grains.
It could also represent Astraea (daughter of Zeus), goddess of Justice -- the "scales of justice" Libra is the next constellation over (near her feet).
I have read some interpretations where she represents Callisto, but Callisto is already in the sky as the Great Bear (she was changed into a bear by the very jealous Hera, then killed by a hunter -- Zeus took pity and placed her among the star with her child, the small bear).
And there are many more minor myths.|||its closer then you think
