Actually, Dr. E., don't forget some additional Greek insofar as this is concerned:

"And thus we have Ursa Major, the Greater Bear, and near her always, her beloved offspring Ursus Minor, the Littler Bear… both said now to be lighting the night sky for those on the ground to spot and see, so they can always know which direction they face and which way to travel next."

Bear *** ARKTOS ***

Which direction, did you say? *** ARKTIKOS ***
