Leo,the fifth astrological sign of the zodiac, is one of the earliest recognized constellations with archaeological evidence that the Mesopotamians recorded it as early as 4000 BCE.
The constellation Leo was identified as the Nemean Lion, a Greek mythical monster slayed by Herculesduring one of his Twelve Labors. The valley of Nemea had been terrorized by the Lion, which was thought to be impossible to kill. To save the people of the Nemeancountryside, Heracles destroyed the Lion.
His arrows bounced harmlessly off and his sword broke with the strength of the Lion's impenetrable hide. Heracles slayed the Lion with his bare hands, made a cloak out of the Lion’s skin and a helmet from the head. Nearly every image of Heraclesillustrates him dressed in the skins of the Nemean Lion. And the spirit of the Lion was placed in the sky to be admired for its grandeur and strength.
