Leo is associated with the Nemean Lion of Greek mythology, a fierce beast with an impenetrable golden hide. As part of his twelve labors, Hercules was tasked with slaying this lion. Unable to kill it with weapons, Hercules strangled it with his bare hands and wore its skin as armor. Zeus placed the lion in the sky, representing courage, strength, and nobility.
