Ératosthènes de Cyrène: Catastérrismes, Belles Lettres, Paris</ref> 73-75)<blockquote>'''Var. 1 (Περὶ τῆς Λύρας)''': It occupies the ninth position, and is the constellation of the Muses. It was originally fashioned by Hermes from a tortoise shell and Apollo’s oxen; it had seven strings, corresponding to the number of Atlas’s daughters. Apollo received it from him and, after composing a song on the lyre, presented it to Orpheus who, being the son of Calliope, one of the Muses, gave it nine strings, corresponding to the number of the Muses; Orpheus developed its potential and gained such fame among men that he was even credited with the power to charm wild beasts through his playing. After descending into Hades because of his wife, and having seen what went on there, he ceased to honour Dionysus, to whom he nevertheless owed his fame, and regarded Helios as the mightiest of the gods, invoking him also by the name of Apollo. He would wake at night, climb the mountain known as Pangaeus at dawn, and stand facing the east to be the first to see the sun. Dionysus was angered by this and sent the Bassarides against him, as the tragic poet Aeschylus relates; they tore him to pieces and scattered his limbs in all directions. The Muses gathered them up and buried them on the mountains called Leibethra. […] He consented to this, and so she was placed <in the heavens>.

It was originally fashioned by Hermes from a tortoise and Apollo’s oxen; it was fitted with seven strings, corresponding to the number of Atlas’s daughters. Apollo received it from his hands and, after composing a song on the lyre, offered it to Orpheus who, being the son of Calliope, one of the Muses, gave it nine strings, corresponding to the number of the Muses; Orpheus developed its capabilities and gained such fame among men that he was even credited with the power to charm, through his playing, even stones and wild beasts. He refused to honour Dionysus, and regarded Helios, whom he also called Apollo, as the mightiest of the gods. He would wake at night, climb the mountain known as Pangaeus at dawn, and stand facing the east to be the first to see the sun. Dionysus was angered by this and sent the Bassarides against him, as the poet Aeschylus relates; they tore him to pieces and scattered his limbs in all directions. The Muses gathered them up and buried them on the mountains called Leibethra.</blockquote><blockquote>And as they did not know to whom to give the lyre, they asked Zeus to place it amongst the constellations, so that it might appear amongst the stars in memory of Orpheus and of themselves. Zeus agreed, and so it was placed in the heavens. It signals a change in the weather in connection with Orpheus’s misfortune, for it sets with each passing season.</blockquote><blockquote>It bears a star on each ear, one at the tip of each arm, one at one end, one on each shoulder, one on the crossbar, and one at its base—white and shining. Nine in all.</blockquote>
