This design is based on a woodcut of the sign of Sagittarius from a book of star myths printed in Augsburg in 1491. The archer in the sky is often depicted as a centaur, half human and half horse. The ancient astronomer Eratosthenes objected to this, because centaurs did not use bows.
According to the astronomer Eratosthenes, the archer was Krotos, the son of Eupheme, the wet nurse of the Muses. Krotos was a skilled horseman and hunter who lived with the Muses on Mount Helicon; myth holds that he invented archery. When the Muses sang, he would applaud them loudly. The Muses, in turn, asked Zeus to place him among the stars.
