Orion the hunter and Artemis the goddess of the hunt really liked each other. One day Artemis' twin brother Apollo who was jealous of Artemis decided to get rid of Orion. Apollo took the chance when Orion was out swimming in the sea. Apollo said to his sister "I bet you can't hit that rock over there in the water." Artemis, who couldn't stand being challenged to shoot the "rock" in the water, took her bow and fitted an arrow and shot the rock. As soon as the "rock" sank out of view, Apollo informed his twin that she had just killed Orion. Artemis felt so bad that Apollo helped put his picture in the stars. That constellation is known as the hunter constellation.
