Daksha's daughters
In Indian Mythology, an indian king named Daksha had married his daughters to the moon. However, the moon, or chandra, was only faithful to his favorite wife Rohini. Covetous, the other daughters asked their father dahska for help. In punishment, daksha diminshed the moon for half of it's cycle, only reviving chandra due to nature. this solved the dilemma, whilst creating the vedic astrology nakshatras.
