2. About half the total number of lettered stars in Hercules are rising in the 17th hour and half in the 18th hour - the constellation stretches for about a month and ends close to the solstice:

There is a square torso in its center and conventionally the figure is drawn upside down. His legs are up and the configuration lines could indicate he is running or twirling around.

The last of these stars to rise in the 17th hour (ε) has the same name as ω, viz. Kajam, but in order to distinguish between them I named it Cujam (the name Kajam already having been used for ω in my astronomy book):

"ω, a 4th magnitude double, by some early transcriber's error, is now given as Cujam, from Caiam, the accusative of Caia, the word used by Horace for the Club of Hercules, which is marked by this star.

Gaiam, Guiam, and Guyam, frequently seen, are erroneous. In Burritt's Atlas the star is wrongly placed within the uplifted right arm.

The Club of Hercules is supposed to have been a separate constellation with Pliny." (Allen)

The Club of Hercules is indeed in his right hand according to Flamsteed's picture (copied from Ian Ridpath's site):
