Piscis Austrinus (the Southern Fish) is usually seen as a sign of salvation in the legends of a great flood. The fish drinks the waters of the flood to save the world. Piscis is also associated with the Syrian Fertility Goddess Atagartis, who fell into a lake near the Euphrates River and was saved by a large fish. Piscis is the parent of the two fish of Pisces. Piscis Austrinus is in the Southern Hemisphere near Aquarius.
