And Bullinger's take:

The dead one rising again

The ancient names connected with this constellation are Dalaph (Hebrew), pouring out of water; Dalaph (Arabic), coming quickly; Scalooin (Arabic), swift (as the flow of water); Rotaneb or Rotaneu (Syriac and Chaldee), swiftly running.

This could have ominous connotations as well...  i.e the dead one rising again being Osiris/Nimrod, etc.
