The Tale of the Stars

Historically, ancient civilizations used myths and tales to explain everyday phenomenons and develop moral lessons. For example, Brazilian folklore presents a beautiful tale about the origin of the plant “Victoria Amazonica” and the Greek tragedy of Icarus is a warning about the limits of knowledge. In addition, tales serve to express human actions and emotions, such as Chang-e's loneliness on the moon (probably caused by her own curiosity or selfishness).The tale of the Stars and the Ocean, developed by an ancient and forgotten Indian civilization, supposedly links the incidence of floods with meteor showers, seeking to explain the two phenomenons.But, it's also a love tragedy, about two lovers who couldn't consummate their love.
