Omicron (ο)Eridanus, Keid, is a triple star, 4.5, 9.1, and 10.8, orange and sky blue, in the River.

The Arabic spelling for Keid is Al-Qaid (), “The broken egg-shells”. Omicron (ο)Eridanus is the Keid of modern lists, Burritt’s Atlas of 1856 Kied, from Al Kaid, the Egg-shells, thrown out from the nest close by. [The Ostrich’s Nest were eta (Azha) zeta (Zibal) and rho]. Abbe Hell used it in the construction of his constellation Psalterium (Psalterium Georgii, Harpa Georgii, was a constellation created in 1789 to honor George III of Great Britain from parts of Eridanus. It is no longer in use).

The astrological influences of the constellation Eridanus

Legend: Eridanus represents the river Padus or Po into which Phaeton fell when slain by Jupiter for having set the world on fire by misguiding the chariot of his father Phoebus. [Robson, p.44.]

Influences: According to Ptolemy all the stars with the exception of Achernar are like Saturn. Eridanus gives a love of knowledge and science, much travel and many changes, a position of authority, but danger of accidents especially at sea and of drowning. [Robson, p.44.]
