A small constellation that can be seen in the southern sky on spring evenings. It lies long on the back of Hydra and borders Corvus to the west. This cup is a pedestal goblet with handles on both sides, called a krater, a vessel for mixing wine and water. If you carefully trace the small stars, you will see that it is a dark but well-formed constellation. In Greek mythology, it was thought to have belonged to Apollo, Achilles, Bacchus, Hercules, and others.

春の宵、南の空に見える小星座。うみへび座の背に長々と横たわる形で、からす座の西に接している。このコップは両側に取っ手のついた台付きの杯で、クラテルとよばれる、酒と水を混ぜる器のことである。小さな星をていねいにたどっていくと、暗いながら形がよく整った星座であることがわかる。ギリシア神話ではアポロン、アキレウス、バッカス、ヘラクレスなどの持ち物とみられていた。 [藤井 旭] ©藤井 旭"> コップ座 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
