In Greek mythology, the mother of Orion is often considered to be Euryale, a figure associated with the Gorgon sisters. However, different myths present varying accounts of Orion's parentage, with some sources suggesting he was the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman named either Aethra or a different figure altogether. Ultimately, the specifics can vary widely across different myths and interpretations.

How did Artemis kill Orion?

Her brother Apollo was angered by their friendship. Apollo challenged Artemis to an archery competition. He told her to shoot a target from far away. Artemis had no idea that the target her brother mentioned was the head of Orion. Artemis' shot was perfect (like always) so Orion died. Another version on how Orion died was that Apollo sent a scorpion to sting Orion in his heal. Gaea, Mother Earth, could of sent the scorpion instead of Apollo because she was upset that Orion was killing all of the wild beasts that lived on her. Yet another version on how Orion died: Orion tried to rape Artemis or one of her virgin followers. Being a virgin goddess, she killed him before he could.
