The Pisces constellation contains no prominent stars. The brightest star, Alpha Piscium, is the point where the cords joining the two fish are knotted together. It is one of the earliest zodiac signs on record appearing as far back as c. 2300 BC in Egypt. In Greek mythology, Pisces is associated with Aphrodite. Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac.
