Poet of the stars and master of celestial name-dropping. Aratus of Soli (c. 315–240 BCE) turned the night sky into verse with his Phaenomena, blending astronomy, weather lore, and just enough myth to keep it dazzling. His poem was so quotable even St. Paul cited it. Based on the work of Eudoxus, but wrapped in style, Aratus showed that science could rhyme — and that the heavens belonged equally to thinkers and dreamers.
