It's an interesting subject.
I guess that most of the big heroes (all boys) in Greek mythology got constellations, whereas the women got associated with stars.
But a lot of star names came from Arabic, over-writing all but the most famous of the Greek names, and they didn't associate stars with people, instead naming them after properties or objects.
