There was another that belonged to Zeus [?]. For when the gods divided the birds among themselves, this bird fell to Zeus. It is, moreover, the only bird that flies towards the sun; and it has supremacy over all the others. Even amongst the constellations, it is oriented towards the rising sun. It is depicted with outstretched wings as if gliding.</blockquote><blockquote>Aglaosthenes says that Zeus, at his birth, was hunted down in Crete and was therefore secretly transported to Naxos; when he had finished growing and reached adulthood, he seized the kingship. When he set out from Naxos to fight the Titans, an eagle appeared.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Var. 2 ( Ἀετοῦ)''': This is the bird that carried Ganymede up to Zeus in heaven to serve as his cup-bearer. It is counted among the constellations because, prior to this episode, when the gods divided the birds among themselves, this bird fell to Zeus. It is, moreover, the only animal capable of flying towards the sun without its rays diverting its flight towards the earth, and it holds supremacy over all others. It is depicted with its wings spread, as if gliding.</blockquote><blockquote>Aglaosthenes says in his Naxica that Zeus, upon his birth in Crete, as he was mercilessly hunted down [and secretly abducted on two occasions], was taken from Crete and transported to Naxos; when he had finished growing and reached adulthood, he seized the divine kingship. When he set out from Naxos to fight the Titans, an eagle appeared and flew alongside him; Zeus saw this as an omen and made this bird his sacred bird [once it had been deified], and that is why it was deemed worthy of the honour of appearing in the sky.</blockquote><blockquote>The Eagle has four stars, one of which, the middle one, is bright.</blockquote>		Pamias and Zucker (2013,<ref>Pamìas, Jordi und Zucker, Arnaud (2013).

			'''Eratosthenes's star catalogue''' can be reconstructed from the list of stars he mentions in the last section of each of the constelllation descriptions. Hoffmann (2017)<ref name=":02">Hoffmann, S. M., <nowiki><i>Hipparchs Himmelsglobus</i></nowiki>. Springer Wiesbaden/ New York, 2017. doi:10.1007/978-3-658-18683-8.</ref> made such a catalogue and used it for computational comparison with Hipparchus's, Ptolemy's and Babylonian data; it is based on the edition and translation by Pamias and Geus (2007)<ref>Eratosthenes: Sternsagen, übersetzt von Pamìas, Jordi und Geus, Klaus, Verlag Utopica, Oberhaid 2007</ref> and presented here in English translation.
