Gaius Julius Hyginus
De Astronomica, also known as Poeticon Astronomicon, is a book of stories whose text is attributed to "Hyginus", though the true authorship is disputed. During the Renaissance, the work was attributed to the Roman historian Gaius Julius Hyginus who lived during the 1st century BC. However, the fact that the book lists most of the constellations north of the ecliptic in the same order as Ptolemy's "Almagest" (written in the 2nd century) has led many to believe that a more recent Hyginus or Pseudo-Hyginus created the text.
