Description

  • Catasterism (from the Greek katasterismós) is the tradition’s name for the transformation of a being into a star or constellation.
  • Whoever fells the beast undergoes a change of status: leaves the mortal condition and is inscribed in the celestial order.
  • The archive ties the concept to the Pleiades (nymphs turned into stars), to Minoan and taurine symbolism, and to the idea that defeating the osfiotauro opens the way from mortal to cosmic status.
  • It belongs to the astronomical thread of the cycle: Aldebaran, the zodiacal platforms, and figures who ascend as constellations.
