The sign Virgo, sixth of the Zodiac, is represented by a young woman holding an ear of wheat or a scale, symbolizing harvests and pondering. The legend behind this sign dates back to the Greek myth of the creation of the World, according to which the Titans, Prometheus and Epimetheus, created men and animals. Epimetheus gave gifts to animals, but for men, without gifts, he asked for help from Prometheus, who gave the gift of fire, granting superiority to humans. Zeus imprisoned Prometheus for revealing the secret of fire and sent Pandora to Earth with a forbidden box. Upon opening it, evils were released, except hope. The gods left, beginning the Iron Age, and Astreia, goddess of purity, took refuge in the constellation Virgo, symbolizing the hope of a golden age.
