    "Fascination with the Pleiades... spreads over many cultures, as Andrews notes. In ancient Egypt, they were regarded as the Seven Fates who 'foretold the destiny of every newborn'; in India they still influence the game of dice; and a cluster of dots on the Lascaux cave paintings in France, more than 17,000 years old, is perhaps the world's oldest representation of these haunting stars..." Tony Maniarty, The Australian.

    Synopsis
    What do Atlases, Halloween, Atlantis, Subaru, the American Presidential elections, the Petticoat Lane markets in London and the ship Titanic all have in common? Each can be traced to the legends of the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades. Munya Andrews explores legends from North America, Australia, Japan, the Pacific and back through time to Ancient Egypt, India, Greece and South America. No other writer has captured the richness of this mysterious constellation., The history, legend and mythology of a star cluster associated with women for aeons of human history. Munya captures the richness of the mysterious constellation Pleiades and explains the recurring significance of these celestial sisters who animate the myths of cultures as diverse as Classical Greece and Aboriginal Australia., Around the world, people looked to the skies to tell them when to sow and harvest their crops, and when the rains would come. The ' sailing stars' have guided explorers and endless migrations of people. In Old Europe, among the Ainu of Japan and in Indigenous Australia the Pleiades were associated with water and birds. They become Oceanids, Ice Maidens, Water Girls and the Subaru. The Parthenon in Athens, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt and the Mayan Temple of the Sun in Cuzco, are all said to be aligned with the Pleiades. The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades will amaze and awe you, and above all will remind you that all of humanity shares the night skies.
