That Hair

I find it interesting that everything is from the point of view of a lock of hair. Not only is everything is told from the point of view of a lock of hair, the hair is afraid of other constellations!
I wonder why Telemachus chose to write the constellations as still having human traits (in the case of Leo, lionish rates) such as resentment, the ability to become attached to people and have families, and oratory skills. A lock of hair certainly is not a conventional narrator; why use one? If anyon can come up with any ideas (besides creating humor through metaphor and personification), please let m know!!
