What do greyhounds, Mother Nature, and Zeus have in common? In this episode, discover the three (possibly four) greyhound constellations in our night sky and the myths that spurred their names.

After you listen to this episode, you’ll be able to impress your star-gazing friends with your new-found knowledge about the greyhounds in the stars, Greek mythology, and the origin of the 3,000-year-old-plus expression, “the dog days of summer.”
