Riddings, The Seven Stars (2)


Inn Sign from The Seven Stars, Riddings.

The box caption, in the place where the seventh star would be, explains why there is no star in that position. It says:

“The Pleiades were the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione transformed into stars. Electra remains invisible out of shame for marrying a mortal.”
