A long time ago, when Hercules fought the monster Hydra, a huge crab bit Hercules’ feet but was finally defeated. The crab fell onto an island in the Aegean Sea. Because the crab did not finish the task given by Hera, the Queen of Athens was affected by the curse. As a result, when the princess of Athens Meriot was born, a prophet foretold that the day the princess got married was the day the Queen would die. Therefore, the Queen made sure the princess did not marry.
在很久很久以前，赫五力大戰(zhàn)蛇妖許的時(shí)候，從海中升出一只巨蟹為幫助蛇妖咬了赫五力的腳踝，后來這只巨蟹被赫五力打死，落在了愛琴海的一座小島上。巨蟹沒有完成女神赫拉的任務(wù)，因而被詛咒，這詛咒便波及到了雅典王后的身上。在雅典公主美洛出生的時(shí)候，就有一位預(yù)言家預(yù)言，公主結(jié)婚的時(shí)候就是王后死亡的時(shí)候。為著這個(gè)預(yù)言，王后一直沒有叫公主嫁人。

When Meriot was 20 years old, a prince named Sa came to Athens. He admired Meriot’s beauty and wanted to marry her. And when Meriot saw Sa, she fell into love at first sight. But the curse was still valid and she could not pursue her own happiness by sacrificing her mother’s life. Meriot tried her best to control her emotions by arranging nine impossible missions for him to complete. Only by finishing these tasks could he marry her. However, Sa managed to complete them eventually, putting the princess in a great dilemma. Eventually her mother agreed to their marriage for the happiness of her daughter.
直到美洛二十歲的時(shí)候，雅典城來了一位王子，名叫所颯。所颯是慕名而來，他一心想娶美洛為妻，而美洛在第一眼見到所颯時(shí)也深深的愛上了他。然而詛咒是可怕的，公主也不希望只為了自己的幸福去犧牲母親的生命。于是她想盡辦法阻止所颯也阻止自己的欲望。他定下了九關(guān)，就如同九個(gè)不可能完成的任務(wù)一樣，除非所颯一一做到，他才可以迎娶美洛。然而，英勇無比的所颯竟一一做到了！公主陷入了兩難的境地。偉大的母親為了女兒的幸福，毅然決定把美洛嫁給所颯。

On their nuptial day, the Queen did not go to the ceremony, as she did not want anything terrible to happen. The Queen went to the beach and jumped into the Aegean Sea. When the Queen drowned, a huge crab appeared in the sea and embraced her as if a shell of protection.
在美洛和所颯舉行婚禮的這一天，王后并沒有到場(chǎng)，她不希望宴會(huì)上出現(xiàn)什么意外來破壞氣氛。王后一個(gè)人悄悄走向海邊，迎接著愛琴海的浪濤，蹈水自盡了。當(dāng)人們?cè)趺匆舱也坏酵鹾髸r(shí)，在海上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只巨大的蟹，它的雙臂環(huán)繞在胸前，仿佛缺乏安全感，又像是一位善于保護(hù)的母親。

When Hera found out about her mother’s death, she was full of regret and transformed the crab into a constellation in the sky called Cancer.
女神赫拉知道這件事情以后也有些后悔，于是讓那溫柔而敏感的母親在天上成為一個(gè)星座，它的形象就是一只巨蟹。
