			Pamias and Zucker (2013,<ref>Pamìas, Jordi und Zucker, Arnaud (2013). Ératosthènes de Cyrène: Catastérrismes, Belles Lettres, Paris</ref> 38-40)<blockquote>'''Var. 1:''' It is one of the most prominent constellations. Apparently, the zodiacal Lion was granted this honour by Zeus because it ranks first among four-legged animals. Some <say> that it represents the first labour performed by Heracles.</blockquote><blockquote>Leo has three stars on its head, two on its neck, one on its chest, three on its back, one bright star on its tail, two beneath its chest, and one on its forepaw. Thirteen in all.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Var. 2:''' It is one of the most prominent constellations. Apparently, the zodiacal Lion was granted this honour by Zeus because it ranks first among four-legged animals. Some say it represents the first labour accomplished by Heracles, placed there so that the memory might be preserved. It is indeed the only animal he killed unarmed, for the love of glory, by suffocating it in his arms. Pisander of Rhodes recounts this episode. Hence Heracles wears the lion’s skin, a sign of the illustrious feat he accomplished. This is the lion that was killed by Heracles at Nemea. </blockquote><blockquote>The Lion has three stars on its head, one on its chest and two below, a bright one on its right paw, one in the middle of its belly, another below, one on its hip, one on its hind knee, a bright one at the tip of its paw, two on its neck, three on its back, one in the middle of its tail, and a bright one at the tip of its tail. Nineteen in all.</blockquote><blockquote>Above the Lion, one can also see seven dim stars forming a triangle towards the tail. They are called “the Hair of Berenice the Benefactor”.</blockquote>
