... However, in Greek mythology, Orion was a beautiful, giant hunter.
Mythology
There are many legends about Orion and several variations about his death and why he was placed in the stars. ... Ifyou notice, scorpio and Orion are never in the sky together. Another story says that Artemis, the goddess of hunting, fell in love with Orion. And when Orion was swimming Artemis was speaking to her brother, Apollo. ... She had shot Orion. She put her love, Orion, in the sky.
The story says that Orion, the son of Neptune, was a handsome giant and a mighty hunter. ... Orion loved Merope, the daughter of Oenopion, king of Chios, and sought her in marriage. He cleared the island of wild beasts, and brought the spoils of the chase as presents to his beloved; but as Oenopion constantly deferred his consent, Orion attempted to gain possession of the maiden by violence. Her father, incensed at this conduct, having made Orion drunk, deprived him of his sight and cast him out on the seashore. ... Placing Kedalion on his shoulders, Orion proceeded to the east to be his guide not the abode of the sun. Placing Kedalion on his shoulders, Orion proceeded to the east, and there meeting the sun-god (Helios) was restored to sight by his beam.
