The Fourth Root Race

Herakles turned out to be a fighting sort of person, clinging closely to Mars ; Sirius a more peaceful one, following Mercury continually; Alcyone is also of that ilk, with Mizar.

Some experiences of Alcyone's that often tormented him in the form of dreams in a later life may here be put on record.

Alcyone, some one hundred and twenty lives back, was the son of a man who followed the hideous rites of this dark cult, but he held himself much aloof, shrinking from the wild orgies of animalism that enchained the bulk of the worshippers.

Man: Whence, How and Whither

Beginning of the 5th Root Race

Mars, a grandson of the Manu, was the head of the community, and, with his wife Mercury and his family — among whom were Sirius and Alcyone — lived in a pleasant house, surrounded by a large garden and fine trees.

They were Alcyone's sons, Uranus and Neptune, and his daughters Surya and Brhaspati ; Saturn and Vulcan, boys, and Venus, a girl, were also selected.
