There are lots of versions of this myth but hear are some: Version 1: Orion was the son of the sea- god Neptune, and the great huntress, Queen Euryale. He inherited her hunting skill, and as a result of that, he developed a major ego. he then proceeded to challenge the Gods, boasting that he could kill every animal on Earth, as a result of this, Earth conjured up an enornous scorpion, one which Orion could not defeat. in the end, Orion was killed by the scorpion, and both him and the scorpion were put up in the sky as constellations. (the scorpion is known as "Scorpio") Version 2: Orion was the most brave and handsome man in Greece. Women wanted to marry him and the men wanted to be like him. Even the gods favored him. One day when he was out hunting, he met the goddess Artemis. Artemis had heard of Orion and offered to let him hunt with her, and he agreed. Artemis and Orion soon became good friends, and after a while their affection grew, but neither admitted this because of Artemis' vow of chaste. Apollo, Artemis' twin brother, did not want to see his sister break her vow so one day when he saw Orion swimming in the sea, Apollo challenged Artemis to an archery contest. He challenged Artemis to hit the dot on the horizon (which was Orion). Artemis easily hit the target, and wondering what she had hit, she ran down to the beach where she found Orion's body, with her arrow through his chest. She suddenly realized that Apollo had tricked her into killing her friend. She called Asclepius, the god of medicine, but even he could not revive Orion. Artemis lifted Orion's body and put him into the stars, so whenever she looked up at the stars she could see her friend.
