Scorpio, in Greek fable, was the scorpion that stung Orion's heel when he was battling with the Lemaean monster. Aratus speaks of "the fiery sting of the huge portent, Scorpio, in the south wind's bosom." It may have been the color of Antares which led the old alchemists to believe that iron could be trans- muted into gold only when the sun shone in the sign of Scorpio. But the astrologers did not regard it as a fortunate sign; quite the contrary, indeed, for it was said to have been the birthp...lace of the baleful planet Mars, and his "house" Bright Scorpio, armed with poisonous tail, prepares Men's martial minds for violence and wars. 103 ASTRONOMY WITH THE NAKED EYE His venom heats and boils their blood to rage And rapine spreads o'er the unlucky age. — Manilius. From the "ancient mysteries" Dr. Seiss demon- strates, to his satisfaction, that Scorpio was intended to prefigure the great conflict for the salvation of man- kind, and he tries to identify it with the mysterious Chambers of the South of the Book of Job.
