In Greek myth, Callisto was a companion of the virgin goddess Artemis. Like all worshippers of Artemis Callisto swore off men for life, but that didn’t stop Zeus when he noticed her beauty. He simply transformed himself into a twin of Artemis (his own daughter), embraced Callisto in this disguise, and raped her before she could flee. Callisto said nothing to anyone, but some months later while she bathed with the real Artemis, the goddess noticed her swelling pregnancy and, furious that Callisto was no longer a virgin, drove the poor girl away in disgrace. A classic example of blaming the victim!

Callisto stumbled off alone into the forest where she gave birth to the baby boy Arcas. Now, Zeus's wife Hera had overlooked her husband's crime, but she could not bear that another woman should bear Zeus a son. Furious, she descended to earth and transformed the nursing mother into a bear.

Ovid describes the transformation in Metamorphoses:

As she lay there, stretching out her arms to beg for mercy, those arms began to bristle with coarse black hairs, and her hands curved round, turning into crooked claws, which then served as her feet. Her face, which Jupiter had once praised, was disfigured by wide gaping jaws. Then, lest her prayers and imploring words should wake sympathy, the goddess deprived her of the power of speech. A harsh growling issued from her throat, angry and quarrelsome, frightening to hear. She had become a bear, but even so her mind remained unchanged, and she declared her grief with continual lamentations, raising to the stars in heaven such hands as she had, and feeling Jove’s ingratitude though she could not speak of it. Many a time, not daring to rest in the lonely wood, she wandered by her home and in the fields that once were hers. Many a time, barking hounds drove her through rocky places, and the huntress fled, terrified of the hunters. Often she forgot what she was, and hid when she saw wild beasts; though a bear herself, she shuddered at the sight of bears in their mountain haunts…

Some shepherds found the baby and chased off the bear that they thought was about to eat him, so Callisto's son Arcas was raised among humans. Grown to young manhood, he went hunting in the forest one day, where he encountered his mother in her bear form and tried to kill her. The wounded Callisto fled into the sacred oak grove of Zeus. Belatedly becoming aware of the consequences of his horrible behavior, Zeus rescued Callisto by transforming her and Arcas into the constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, the Great and Little Bear.

But Callisto’s troubles were not yet over. Zeus’s wife Hera, offended that her husband’s infidelity was being made eternal as a constellation, went to the wife of the titan Oceanus and persuaded her not to allow Callisto and Arcas to rest in the cooling ocean as the other stars do. It is for this reason that Ursa Major and Ursa Minor never sink below the horizon, but must wander the blazing sphere of stars all year round.

A suitable persona for someone with as troubled a love life as Ulala!
