The Stellarium sky culture "Farnese Globe" maps the depiction of the ancient marble globe to a modern star chart. The constellation of The River and the asterism of the (water)outlet of Aquarius form a huge watery environment for Cetus, The Seamonster. The northern edge of this area is bordered by the "ribbon" of Pisces of which only the southern part is drawn on the marble globe. The artist who made this globe apparently did not consider Pisces as two fish connected with a ribbon, but the northern one of the two as an attribute of the lady goddess (now: Andromeda) and the other one as a dead fish (belly up) at the edge of the heavenly water ("hydor").
