Auriga (constellation) wildly from those of the European Renaissance; one Turkish atlas depicted the stars of Auriga as a mule, called "Mulus clitellatus" by Johann Bayer. One unusual representation of Auriga, from 17th-century France, showed Auriga as Adam kneeling on the Milky Way, with a goat wrapped around his shoulders. Occasionally, Auriga is seen not as the Charioteer but as Bellerophon, the mortal rider of Pegasus who dared to approach Mount Olympus. In this version of the tale, Jupiter pitied Bellerophon for his foolishness and placed him in the stars. Some of the stars of Auriga were incorporated into a now-defunct constellation
