	The Greek constellation Θηρίον (Therion, i.e. 'the Beast') is in the same position as the Mesopotamian constellation [[UR.IDIM]], the Mad Dog. The Mesopotamian constellation might depict a rabid dog or wolf: the wording is can refer to both. However, Greek uranology took over the Mesopotamian constellation, it was transferred to an animal sacrificed to the gods. An [[UR.IDIM#/media/File:LionMan Carter2019.jpg\|image of the Babylonian Urmahlullu-daemon that was discovered in 2019 on a seal]] suggests some potential that the Greek image of a centaur-like creature who sacrificed the animal may (or may not) be based on one of the ancient Mesopotamian interpretations of Urmahlullu holding a dead animal. Together with Centaurus and Ara, Lupus forms a super-constellation.		<ref>Hoffmann, Susanne M. Wie der Löwe an den Himmel kam.
