Canis Major - Argos, the faithful dog of Ulysses, waited for yers for his master to return (twenty, ten while he was away at war in Troy and ten which he wandered). When Argos recognised his master upon his return, the canine died from happiness.
The Egyptians linked the star Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens rises at dawn during the summer solstice, to Annubis, the dog-headed god, considered the watchdoy of the seasons. The rising of the star was important for calculating the flooding of the Nile, and marked the beginning of the new year. The rising of Sirius marked the beginning of the sweltering heat in July and August.
