Harmonia (mythology)

So, a very long time ago, people used to tell stories about different gods and goddesses who lived up in the sky. One of these gods was named Zeus, and he was the king of all the gods.

Now, Zeus had a wife named Hera, and together they had a daughter named Harmonia. Harmonia was very special because she was the goddess of harmony and peace. That means it was her job to make sure everyone got along and there weren't any fights or arguments between the other gods and goddesses.

Harmonia was very beautiful and kind, and everyone loved her. She was so peaceful and gentle that even wild animals like snakes and lions would come and lay down at her feet without hurting her.

One day, Harmonia fell in love with a mortal man named Cadmus. They got married and had children together, but life was not easy for them. They had to go through many struggles and hardships. But through it all, Harmonia never lost her peaceful and harmonious nature.

Eventually, Harmonia and Cadmus were turned into serpents and sent to live in the sky as stars. They are still there today, shining bright and reminding us that even though life can be tough, we can still find peace and harmony if we make an effort to be kind and loving.
