The Zorya

In Polish mythology, the Zorya are the three guardian goddesses, known as the Auroras. They guard and watch over the doomsday hound that threatens to eat the constellation Ursa Minor, the 'little bear.' If the chain breaks loose, the Universe is said to end. The Auroras of the Morning Star, Evening Star, and Midnight Star are depicted as Zwezda Dnieca, Zwezda Wieczoniaia and Zwezda Polnoca.
