The Pisces symbol (also called Pisces glyph) is a shorthand representation of the Pisces fish (see below). However, as with the animal itself, much is based both in interpretation and the preference of the writer, and can range from simple to extravagant.
Note that the mythology of Pisces always refers to <b>two</b> fish, never one. Most versions of the Typhon escape legend speak of the tails of the fish being tied together to avoid losing each other. The constellation of Pisces represents two fish with their tails tied together. A similar version of the story is told in Syrian mythology, where two fish known as the Ikhthyes (or Ichthyes) were the ones who rescued Aphrodite and Eros. Later, a different Syrian myth tells of a large and mysterious egg appearing on the Euphrates river, where two fish (or possibly men with fish-tails according to some classical art) named Aphros and Bythos who brought the egg to shore and helped it hatch.
