*What's Your Sign: Cancer
(Previously, Gemini)
Cancer, or the Crab, actually has nothing to do with Zeus's sexual adventures. Instead, it is Hera's handiwork. Hercules was sent to kill a nasty water snake with nine heads, and of course did so. Hera tried to help the snake, though, by sending a huge crab to fight Hercules. The crab managed to pinch Hercules on the heel before being crushed underfoot. Exciting, eh? Valiant enough an effort that Hera made a constellation for it.

That's all I am? A bit of shell stuck to Hercules' heal? Damn woman! Thanks a lot!

Except for crabs with cancer, of course.
