The next thing I have to do is go through my Ptolemy's Almagest and see is there anything in it about constellations which is worth including in the constellation entries. I've already discovered:
1. Ptolemy called Hercules 'The Figure on its Knees' without any reference to the hero.
2. He called the big ship 'Argo' rather than 'Argo Navis'.
There's more.
