    With Eridanus?
    When Phaethon lost control of Helios' chariot, his father's car in
    fact, and the horses were scorching the Earth by pulling the Sun
    hither and yon, Zeus shot him down with a thunderbolt.
    Never play with the gods. OK, now did they all get doused in the
    river Eridanus?

    ...and for your first question,
      1. Which constellation's figure was a symbol of astronomers in ancient Egypt?

    I don't have a clue.

    Good weekend, TACos.
