                      That would be the rump and tail of the bear.

                        The bear name for those stars predates the ancient Greeks.

                        There's no known origin. It's present in languages of people that were separated at least 13000 years ago.

                            How many long tailed bears were around in Ancient Greece? I saw a backwards interpretation that made more sense where the tail becomes the eye of the head.

                            Here's an actual photo of the night sky with all the minor stars. There's nothing there that even squinting gives the appearance of a bear.

                                What's funny is it very clearly see a bear there.

                                Not sure if I'd be able to make it out in person, but the image makes it so very clear to me.

                                  Same in Swedish, Karlavagnen ("the Karl wagon")

                                  But its definitely a wagon, like who would think it's a bear?
