Pleiades (3 syl.) means the “sailing stars” (Greek, pleo, to sail), because the Greeks considered
navigation safe at the return of the Pleiades, and never attempted it after those stars disappeared.
The PLEIADES were the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione. They were transformed into stars,
one of which (Merope) is invisible out of shame, because she alone married a human being. Some
call the invisible star “Electra,” and say she hides herself from grief for the destruction of the city
and royal race of Troy.

A bit of trivia. Subaru logo is representation of the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, because the
company resulted from the merger of seven small companies.
