   Hesper and Aurora / Teiresias

   In Schiller's Ballad "Hero und Leander" are the lines   
      
   Hesper und Auroa zogen   
   Wechsend auf dem Himmelsbogen...   
      
   meaning, probably, that two stars - Aurora and Hesper - are changeging in   
   their seansons. But who were Hesper and Aurora - and which property do they   
   share with which stars?   
      
   ---   
      
   I remember having heard the story that Teiresias spent part of his life as   
   female prostitute in the habour taverns of Rhodos. Can anyone verify this   
   story,  specifya source (author or text)?
