Boo'tes (3 syl.), Arcas son of Jupiter and Calisto. One day his mother, in the semblance of a bear, met him, and Arcas was on the point of killing it, when Jupiter, to prevent the murder, converted him into a constellation, either Boötês or Ursa Major.—Pausanias, Itinerary of Greece, viii. 4.
Doth not Orion worthily deserve
A higher place ...
Than frail Boötês, who was placed above
Only because the gods did else foresee
He should the murderer of his mother be?
