What is the term for a person turning into a constellation in mythology?|||Could you be referring to the word -- Apotheosis??
It is used to describe the transition from mortal to the immortal. For instance Hercules was a Greek Hero but became Divine and was worshiped as a God in the Greek Pantheon after his death. I don't know of any word that specifically related a transformation from mortal/animal to constellation.
