According to Greek
mythology, the seven stars of the
Pleiades, or "Seven Sisters", are seven
nymphs who beseeched Zeus to rescue them
from the hunter Orion. Zeus accordingly
transformed them into seven doves, but the
birds flew so high that they fastened in
the night sky, where they remain to this
day.
