The Charioteer, RA 6h DEC +40°
has the well-known Capella as its brightest star.
The idea behind the association between this particular pattern of stars in the sky and the concept of a charioteer is that it would somehow resemble the pointed helmet of a charioteer. Ceci est capilotracté.
One definitely needs imagination to make such connections.
