About this star:

A very white star in Lyra.

Shelyak and Shiliak are from Al Shilyak, one of the Arabian names for Lyra; translated "tortoise" [Referring to the legendary origin of the instrument associated with Lyra. Hermes found an empty shell of a tortoise cast upon the shore with the dried tendons stretched across it and used it as a plucked string musical instrument]; "originally from Greek Sambyke, a kind of harp" - (from Steve Gibson Starnames). (Allen).

Influence of the constellation:

"According to Ptolemy Lyra (a musical instrument) is like Venus and Mercury. It is said to give an harmonious, poetical and developed nature, fond of music and apt in science and art, but inclined to theft. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Daleth and the 4th Tarot Trump, The Emperor". (Robson).

Rising:

Lyre, the shape of the tortoise-shell, which under the fingers of its heir (Mercury) gave forth sound only after death. Once with it did Orpheus, Oeagrus' son, impart sleep to waves, feeling to rocks, hearing to trees, tears to Pluto, and finally a limit to death. Hence will come endowments of song and tuneful strings, hence pipes of different shapes which prattle melodiously, and whatever is moved to utterance by touch of hand or force of breath. The child of the Lyre will sing beguiling songs at the banquet, his voice adding mellowness to the wine and holding the night in thrall. Indeed, even when harassed by cares, he will rehearse some secret strain, tuning his voice to a stealthy hum and, left to himself, he will ever burst into song which can charm no ears but his own. The Lute rises into the mighty heavens, there shall be born a man to investigate wrong-doing and punish the guilty ("and champion the unjustly accused") he will get to the bottom of crimes by sifting the evidence for them and bring to light - all that lies hidden under the silence of deceit. Hence, too, are begotten the merciless torturer, the dispenser of penalties, whoever insists on the truth and abominates evil, and the man whose profound understanding will put an end to disputes. (The synonymous fidicula occasionly used to designate the constellation of the Lyre, also signifies an instrument of torture; and it is clearly this significance which furnishes the poet with his character-sketch). (Manilus, book 5 of Astronomica, 1st century AD).
