The Northern Crown sometimes was considered to represent a crown that was given by Dionysus to Ariadne. Ariadne wore the crown to her wedding, when she married Bacchus. He placed her crown in the heavens to remember the wedding forever. In Arabian Mythology the constellation was known as, ” the bowl of the poor people.” Also, the Arabs called the constellation Alphecca. It means separated or broken up because the stars of the Northern Crown resembles loose strings or jewels.
