What is the nickname for the constellation Bootes?

The HerdsmanWhat is the nickname for the constellation Bootes?I think it is a part of ''the plough'' which is basically a combination of Bootes and the big dipper creating a pattern that looks like an old horse drawn plough. its not a real constellation, either is the big dipper. they are just well known.What is the nickname for the constellation Bootes?The ancient Greeks also called Bootes the "Bear-Watcher" (Arctophylax) because it circles Ursa Major.



He was also called the "Waggoner" and Ursa Major was called the "Wain." In this configuration Ursa was pictured as a waggon rather than a bear.



In Greek myth, Bootes was a son of the agicultural goddess Demeter. His mother put him amongst the stars as a reward for inventing the waggon and the wheel.
