Πλειάδες
Pleiades

not necessarily identical to the modern constellation

Ἐν μὲν γαῖαν ἔτευξ’, ἐν δ’ οὐρανόν, ἐν δὲ θάλασσαν, ἠέλιόν τ’ ἀκάμαντα σελήνην τε πλήθουσαν, ἐν δὲ τὰ τείρεα πάντα, τά τ’ οὐρανὸς ἐστεφάνωται, Πληϊάδας θ’ Ὑάδας τε τό τε σθένος Ὠρίωνος Ἄρκτόν θ’, ἣν καὶ Ἄμαξαν ἐπίκλησιν καλέουσιν, ἥ τ’ αὐτοῦ στρέφεται καί τ’ Ὠρίωνα δοκεύει, οἴη δ’ ἄμμορός ἐστι λοετρῶν Ὠκεανοῖο.

‘On it he produced the earth, and on it the sky, and on it the sea, and the untiring sun and the full moon, and on it all the constellations, that the sky is wreathed with: the Pleiades as well as the Hyades as well as the might of Orion as well as the Bear, which they call Wagon as additional name, and which revolves around itself and keeps an eye on Orion, and which alone is without share of baths in Ocean.’

Δέδυκε μὲν ἀ σελάννα καὶ Πληΐαδες· μέσαι δὲ νύκτες, παρὰ δ’ ἔρχετ’ ὤρα, ἔγω δὲ μόνα κατεύδω.

‘Set are the moon and Pleiades; and it is midnight, and time passes, and I sleep alone.’

Πλειὰς μὲν ἤιει μεσοπόρου δι’ αἰθέρος ὅ τε ξιφήρης Ὠρίων, ὕπερθε δὲ Ἄρκτος στρέφουσ’ οὐραῖα χρυσήρη πόλωι·

‘The Pleiad swam her mid-sky path along, And sword-begirt Orion; and, above, The Bear's tail wheeled around the gold-gemmed sphere.’

part of Taurus; specific identification unclear when defined as 6 stars (Geminus)

Οἱ μὲν γὰρ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ταύρου ἐπὶ τοῦ νώτου αὐτοῦ κείμενοι ἀστέρες τὸν ἀριθμὸν ϛʹ καλοῦνται Πλειάδες· οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ βουκράνου τοῦ Ταύρου κείμενοι ἀστέρες τὸν ἀριθμὸν εʹ καλοῦνται Ὑάδες.

‘The stars lying on Taurus, on its back, 6 in number, are called Pleiades; and the stars lying on the bull’s head of Taurus, 5 in number, are called Hyades.’
