Possibly Bayer thought the empty drinking vessel at Alkes (α Crateris) motivated η as zero for an almost invisible star in Octans.
It should be close to the line for 11h and the little star at the line for 12h cannot be η. Wikipedia has 6.19 for its visibility. 11h / 24h * 365.25 = 167.4.
After θ came ζ and then η:

Ζ (ζ) |

... Zeta (uppercase Ζ, lowercase ζ; Greek: ζήτα ... is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 7. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Zayin. Letters that arose from zeta include the Roman Z and Cyrillic З ...
Zayin (also spelled Zain or Zayn or simply Zay) is the seventh letter of many Semitic abjads ... It represents the sound [z]. The Phoenician letter appears to be named after a sword or other weapon. (In Biblical Hebrew, 'Zayin' means sword, and the verb 'Lezayen' means to arm. In modern Hebrew, 'zayin' means penis and 'lezayen' is a vulgar term which generally means to perform sexual intercourse and is used in a similar fashion to the English word fuck, although the older meaning survives in 'maavak mezuyan' (armed struggle) and 'beton mezuyan' (armed, i.e., reinforced concrete). The Proto-Sinaitic glyph according to Brian Colless may have been called ziqq, based on a hieroglyph depicting a 'manacle'. |
The role of Sirius cannot be ignored, and it was probably this star who made the Sea Water return after Canopus had digested it all and laid bare the enemies. Perhaps another name for Sirius was Rigi:
... Old-Spider then took the snail, placed it in the west of the shell, and made it into the moon. Then there was a little light, which allowed Old-Spider to see a big worm. At her request he opened the shell a little wider, and from the body of the worm flowed a salted sweat which collected in the lower half-shell and became the sea. Then he raised the upper half-shell very high, and it became the sky. Rigi, the worm, exhausted by this great effort, then died. Old-Spider then made the sun from the second snail, and placed it beside the lower half-shell, which became the earth ...
