It's a representation of the ancient Greek myth that led to the two fish being used to represent Piscis. It's a sea-centaur bringing Aphrodite back onto land after she escaped the god who was after her. The Pisces myth is that Aphrodite and her son turned into fish to escape the unwanted attention of some god or other whose name escaped me. They got lost in the water but were saved by the sea-centaurs.
Zeus was so impressed that he immortalised their great escape in the skies as the double fish - the line between them indicates the familial link.
Very ancient texts do sometimes use this imagery, linking the myth, until the two fish supplanted them.
