The Whale
As the last portion of the Fishes [Pisces]
rises, appears the constellation of the Whale,
pursuing Andromeda in heaven as on the sea.
"Moreover, such men
[those astrologically influenced by Cetus] will be able to fill great
salt-pans, to evaporate the sea, and to extract the sea's venom [salt], they
prepare a wide expanse of hardened ground and surround it with firm walls,
next conduct therein waters channeled from the nearby sea and then deny them
exit by closing sluice-gates, so the floor holds in the waves and begins to
glisten as the water is drained off by the sun. When the sea's dry element
has collected, Ocean's white locks (salt) are shorn for use at table, and
huge mounds are made of the solid foam; and the poison of the deep, which
prevents the use of sea-water, vitiating it with a taste, they commute to
life-giving salt and render a source of health.
-Manilius,
Astronomica,
1st century AD
Cetus
is a Latin word for the order Cetacea which
includes the whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Derivatives of Latin
cetus, Greek ketos: cetacean, cetaceous,
cetene, cetyl (an alcoholic substance taken from whale
wax and is called cetyl alcohol), spermaceti.
Whales produce blubber,
the fat of the whale, the originally meaning was 'bubble, foam'.
Compare bleb, blob, the verb blubber, to weep
loudly.
Cetus is a whale positioned on the
banks of the river Eridanus; the banks of the Eridanus is
where the sisters of Phaeton, the Heliades, were weeping (blubbering)
before being turned into poplar trees. From the tears of the
Heliades comes amber which floated down the Eridanus River. Whales
produce ambergris. The word 'amber'
is probably derived from the Arabic word anbar, meaning
ambergris, a substance from sperm whales used as a
base to make perfume.
The spouting exhale of a whale,
creates a steaming misting fountain of air and water, through which the
observers, depending on the position they are in reference to the sun, can see
the colors of the rainbow in the mist above the head of the whale, giving them a
halo, a sort of holy, mystical image (baleen
whales are of the genus Balaena mysticetus). This constellation with
Roman authors were titled Pristis, Pristix, and Pistrix, these words are related
to the word 'prism'. A prism has the same effect as a water-drop in the air
where rays of light are decomposed into colored rays of rainbow. [Cetus is not
the rainbow itself, Electra is mother of Iris, the rainbow].
