After studying the works of ancient authors, Allen wrote a fascinating story about how people of different cultures gave names to the constellations, how they were described in literature and oral traditions for many centuries, about what incredible associations the stars evoked among ancient peoples. The author told how the solar and lunar zodiacs appeared, what is said about the stars in the Bible and other sacred books, in poetry and prose, told about the appearance of images of constellations. Allen also dwells on issues of astrology and describes how the future was predicted from the stars.
