History of the star: One of the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters in Taurus. 

In Greek mythology Taygeta yielded to Zeus' advances only when unconscious, but was so ashamed when she recovered that she hid herself under Mount Taygetus, in Laconia. In due course she gave birth to Lacedæmon, founder of Sparta. It was also said that in order to protect her from Zeus, Artemis disguised her as a doe. When she was restored to her original form, Taygete in gratitude dedicated the Ceryneian Hind to the goddess which was to become the golden horns that Heracles (3rd labor) had to fetch.
