Constellation No 7. - Cygnus (New Version)

Constellation No 7. - Cygnus (New Version)

In Greek mythology Cygnus is often associate with several distinct legendary swans. Many of which involve gods and people transforming into swan. However, I think my personal favorite is idea that Cygnus, together with other avian constellations near the summer solstic, Vultur Cadens and Aquila, may be a significant part of the origin of the myth of the Stymphalian Birds, one of The Twelve Labours of Hercules.

I wanted to post this in conjunction with the summer solstice but its already the 21st here (but only by less than a hour) so I’m going to say close enough. Enjoy! 

Evolution

Pichu #172 - It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.

Pikachu #025 - It lives in forests with others. It stores electricity in the pouches on its cheeks.

Raichu #026 - Its tail discharges electricity into the ground, protecting it from getting shocked.

The whole evolutionary chain just for fun.

Murkrow and Gengar

So I'm guilty of loving the whole Pokemon franchise as much as the next 90's Kid. I find myself drawn to the subtle folklore aspect within the games. The pokedex is pretty much just a field guide to that world and thats something I find intriguing. I might work on a few more of these at some point.  

Gengar #094 - "To steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity."

Murkrow #198 - "Feared and loathed by many, it is believed to bring misfortune to all those who see it at night"
