lepus (constellation)

Lepus (Latin for Hare) is a constellation, lying just south of Orion, and possibly representing a hare being chased by him. Lepus was one of the Ptolemy's 48 constellations, and counts also among the 88 modern constellations. This constellation should not be confused with Lupus.

Mythology

Although Lepus constellation is an old constellation, it has little mythology associated with it, apart from a possible incidental role in the Orion myth where it was placed in the sky for the great hunter to chase. *
