| | Antares. |
 | | The Hindus used alpha (Antares), sigma, and tau for their 16th nakshatra Jyestha, "Oldest", also known as Rohini, "Ruddy", from the color of Antares, Indra, the sky-goddess, being regent of the asterism that was figured as a pendent Ear Jewel. |
 | | According to tradition, Antares is of violent character and is credited with being significant for a violent death, either in battle or by process of law. |
 | | Antares is also said to be unfortunate for the eyes, if in conjunction with the Ascendant, Moon or Sun and this has proven to be the case by later researchers. |
