In Greek mythology Vega represented the lyre or lute presented by Mercury to Apollo, who gave it to his son Orpheus. His musical skills were renowned and with the lyre he charmed all the wild beasts, trees and stones, and could make rivers change course. After his untimely death, his lyre was placed in the sky by the gods to commemorate his exquisitely haunting melodies, the like of which was said never to be heard again. The Lyra constellation was, however, primarily associated with their Sun god Apollo.
