It seems that Hermes placed this animal amongst the constellations because of its speed. It is apparently the only four-legged animal to carry out multiple pregnancies at once, giving birth to some young whilst still carrying others in its womb, according to the philosopher Aristotle in his Treatise on Animals. Archelaus, in his On the Particular Natures, speaks on this subject in similar terms. </blockquote><blockquote>The Hare has one star on each ear, two on its body, one on its back, and one on each paw. Seven in all.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Var. 2 (Λαγωοῦ)''': This is the hare that was flushed out during the famous hunt.
