Camelopardalis Myth
Said to represent the Biblical camel which carried Rebecca to Isaac, historians however, are divided as to the inventor of this modern constellation. Some say that Dutchman Petrus Plancius first charted Camelopardalis in 1613, it later being included in Jakob Bartsch’s book on the constellations, whilst others suggest that Bartsch, himself, invented the constellation in 1624. The "camel-leopard" was so named because the Greeks thought the animal -- a giraffe -- had the head of a camel and the spots of a leopard.
