Reply to comment by Dawnawaken92 in TIL the milky way was named as such because of Hera's breaskmilk...An infant Hercules tried to nurse from her, and she threw him off. Allowing some milk to splash and creating the galaxy and all its stars... by Themakia

no, as in there were multiple versions in Ancient Greece because it was a living religion that changed by region and time
