Callisto

Callisto was a Greek princess.
==Mythology==
Callisto was a hunting companion of Artemis that vowed to remain chaste for as long as she was the companion of the goddess. However, she was seduced by Zeus and didn't tell Artemis about it. After finding out, Artemis turned Callisto into a bear. She gave birth to a son, Arcas, who was delivered to King Lycaon, Callisto's father.
After Arcas was grown up, Callisto, still in the form of a bear, went to the sanctuary of Zeus and was about to be killed by Arcas when Zeus turned them both into constellations.
In some versions of the story, it is the jealous wife of Zeus, Hera, that turned Callisto into the bear and persuaded Artemis to kill her.
