Julien d'Huy in Scientific American:
The first version of the Cosmic Hunt, the ancestor of all the other
accounts of the story of Callisto, reconstructed from three different
databases, would have gone like this: A man is hunting an ungulate; the
hunt takes place in the sky or ends there; the animal is alive when it
is transformed into a constellation; and this constellation is the one
we know as Ursa Major.
