Etymology and History
From the Greek word κορυνηφόρος, "club-bearer", mentioned in one Renaissance study as a name for the constellation Hercules. Properly it is of mythological rather than astronomical significance, for Ptolemy's constellation here was "the Kneeler", described without a club. "Kornephoros" was applied as a star name in recent times.
