Isibonakaliso se-zodiac Sagittarius

Ulwazi lokuqala mayelana neqembu lezinkanyezi namuhla elaziwa ngokuthi iSagittarius luvela kubantu baseSumer basendulo, abahlobanisa noNergal (unkulunkulu wenhlupho nombusi wendawo engaphansi). UNergal waboniswa njengomuntu onamakhanda amabili - owokuqala wayeyinhloko ye-panther, kanti eyesibili wayeyinhloko yomuntu - lo nkulunkulu waseSumeri wayengenawo ufezela esikhundleni somsila. AmaSumer abiza lo mlingiswa uPablisag (ohunyushwa ngokuthi "ukhokho obaluleke kakhulu").

AmaGreki amukela lo mlaza, kodwa ezikhathini zamaGreki kwakunokungavumelani ngokuthi le milaza imelelani. U-Aratus uwachaze njengamaqoqo ezinkanyezi amabili ahlukene, uMcibisholo no-Archer. Amanye amaGreki ahlobanisa isimo sawo ne-centaur Chiron, ebekwe esibhakabhakeni ukuze iqondise ama-Argonauts aye e-Colchis. Lokhu kuhumusha ngephutha kukhombe uSagittarius noChiron ngokwakhe, owayesevele esesibhakabhakeni njengoCentaur. U-Eratosthenes, naye, wathi izinkanyezi zeSagittarius azikwazi ukumela i-Centaur, ngoba ama-centaurs awazange asebenzise iminsalo. Ibonisa enye yezinganekwane zamahhashi, isigamu-abantu, i-centaur ehlakaniphile futhi enobungane uCrotos, indodana yeNkosi kanye ne-nymph Euphemia, intandokazi yama-muses, ebekwe esibhakabhakeni onkulunkulu base-Olympus phakathi kwabanye. ukuze kusungulwe u-anyanisi. Iboniswa ngomnsalo odwetshiwe, oqondiswe enhliziyweni yeScorpio engumakhelwane.

Umlaza iSagittarius indala kunomlaza iCentaurus, emele iChiron ehlakaniphile nenokuthula; Emifanekisweni yendabuko, i-Sagittarius inokubukeka okusongela ngokusobala. Lo mlaza emabalazweni amadala ubizwa ngokuthi i-Centaurus, kodwa ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki usebenza njenge-satyr. Kwamanye amamephu esibhakabhakeni, izinkanyezi ezidlalweni zangaphambili ze-Sagittarius zimakwe njengomqhele njengesikhumbuzo somunye wemidlalo edlalwa yi-Crotos. AmaGreki ayemelela uCrotos njengesidalwa esinemilenze emibili, efana nePan, kodwa enomsila. Wayebhekwa njengomsunguli wokucibishela imicibisholo, ngokuvamile ezingelwa ngehhashi futhi ehlala namamyuziyamu eNtabeni iHelikon.

I-Sagittarius yayingahlali njalo futhi yayingahlotshaniswa njalo nesibalo se-centaur. Ema-atlas aseShayina, kwakukhona ingwe endaweni yayo, okwathi ngemva kwayo kwaqanjwa elinye lamaqoqo ezinkanyezi zezinkanyezi zaseShayina.
