It is nearly 26 times bigger than our sun and has a radius of around 18 million Kilometers, it also is 215 brighter than Sol our sun. The amazing fact about Arcturus is it travels through space at 122 Kilometers per second. So how could someone over 2500 thousand years ago speak of guiding this enormous star. Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth (Zodiac) in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons (planets)? For many years scientists used this verse, to say the Bible can't be true, because Arcturus doesn't move at all. It's only in recent times this information has been updated, as has our knowledge and amazement of the universe we now can see. The twelve Zodiac signs by the way, are not about how each of us are going spend our day, according to the local medium. Those predictions are about as accurate as the weather report. It might be sunny today and it might rain later, but it might not. The true Mazzaroth in the stars above, are about the creation ,the virgin birth and first coming of the messiah and his return as king. These meanings have been known from ancient times and are for another thread. You may have another explanation for these observations. Ill been interested to hear it.
When you see Bootes you also see Virgo, this marriage in the heavens follows each other religiously, and come into view feet first, a rather unatural birth so to say.
Then you enter the Greek Mythology you enter the realms of fantasy in every transformation and direction, from Arcus all the way across to people becoming bears and constellations, and judging what the poets were taking along with their wine, or also known as Ambrosia, anything could be imagined up, even the dead coming back to life, only myth or religious fog have ever done this.
See also the Bayer Designations and how the stars as we see them today were given their Alpha designations.
See also "The opening of the mouth ceremony" by the Egyptians of their version or re-birth.
