For the classical Greeks, the entire area corresponding to the constellation of the Libra was part of the Scorpion, representing its long claws, until it ended up becoming an independent constellation around the 1st century BC, at the time of the ancient Romans.

Despite not having a legend of its own, it is customary to relate the Libra to its neighboring constellation Virgo, since the latter may represent the Greek goddess Astreia, deity of Justice, Libra being the balance with which the goddess weighs the justice of things and people. people or souls, as well as the length of day and night.
 
 This constellation looks like a flying comet and is relatively easy to find. It is enough to trace a course in the west direction from Antares and its brilliant neighbors, located in the constellation of Scorpio.
