The Constellation Cepheus.
Cepheus was the king of a ancient land called Ethiopia. His wife queen Cassieopia and his daughter Andromeda. Andromeda was to be sacrificed to Cetus a sea monster. Perseus saved her. To make reparation for Cassiopeia's intolerable boasts all of these characters are represented in the sky. The brightest stars of Cepheus are only 2nd and 3rd magnitudes yet this constellation has been wellknown for thousands of years. It resembles a pentagram, kind of like a childs drawing of a house.
