Alexander zhakulin cynosura monoverse remix


In Greek mythology, Cynosura (/sɪnəˈʃʊərə, snəˈsjʊərə/; Ancient Greek: Κυνοσούρα) was a nymph (an Oread) on Mount Ida, Crete. Cynosura (together with Helike) nursed Zeus when he was being hidden from his father, Cronus. In gratitude, Zeus placed her in the heavens as the constellation Ursa Minor; according to folk etymology and the myth, Kynosoura is from κυνὸς οὐρά "dog's tail".
