Ā Fish themes have symbolic significance in many religions. In ancientĀ Mesopotamia, fish offerings were made to the gods from the very earliest times.Ā Fish were also a major symbol ofĀ Enki, the god of water.
In theĀ dhammaĀ ofĀ Buddhism, the fish symbolize happiness as they have complete freedom of movement in the water. Often drawn in the form ofĀ carpĀ which are regarded in the Orient as sacred on account of their elegant beauty, size and life-span.
Among theĀ deitiesĀ said to take the form of a fish areĀ Ika-RoaĀ of theĀ Polynesians,Ā DagonĀ of various ancientĀ Semitic peoples, the shark-gods ofĀ HawaiŹ»iĀ andĀ MatsyaĀ of the Hindus. TheĀ astrologicalĀ symbolĀ PiscesĀ is based on a constellation of theĀ same name, but there is also a second fish constellation in the night sky,Ā Piscis Austrinus.
