Draco is strongly associated with the Greek goddess Athena, who fought in a great cosmic battle known as the Gigantomachy. It was a war between the Olympian gods and the Giants, who sought to overthrow them and reclaim the heavens.
During the fighting, Athena, famed for her wisdom and strategy, confronted the terrifying dragon-like Giant. When the creature lunged at her, Athena flung it into the sky with such force it became entangled around the celestial pole. Athena then fixed it in place as a constellation to ensure it could never threaten the gods again.
Athena is a symbol of feminine strength. She was a wise, strong and compassionate woman – a calm strategist who radiated intelligence, courage and justice.
The best time to observe Draco is during July and August, although it is visible all year round within the northern hemisphere.
This A5 watercolour comes with its own carefully researched History Note detailing the story behind the constellation. As Draco is closely associated with strong feminine energy, it would make the perfect gift for a courageous woman in your life.
