Venus and her son Cupid were walking along the Euphrates river when Typhon appeared. Typhon intended to kill both Venus and her son. Unable to get away, Venus called on her father Jupiter to rescue her and her son. Jupiter sent two fishes to the rescue. The jumped out of the water and carried Venus and Cupid on their backs to safety. The virgin goddess Minerva rewarded the two fishes by placing them in the sky in the constellation Pisces. | |
