Aries - 2024 ACF Regionals

Question

In Greco-Egyptian astrology, this sign was strongly associated with Amun-Ra. For 10 points each:

[10m] Give the usual Greek name of this sign, which is one of the three fire signs along with Sagittarius and Leo. Its associated constellation depicts the mythical carrier of Phrixus and Helle (“HELL-ee”).

ANSWER: Aries [prompt on the Ram]

[10e] Aries is now the only sign solely ruled by this object, since Scorpio is considered to also be ruled by Pluto. Coincidentally, this object is named for the Roman equivalent of the unrelated Greek god Ares.

ANSWER: Mars

[10h] For the Babylonians, Aries originally depicted an agricultural worker, but became a ram because of its association with this figure. This figure regularly trades residences with his sister, the scribe Geshtinanna.

ANSWER: Tammuz [or Dumuzi; or Dumuzid] (Geshtinanna trades places with him in Irkalla.)
