When did Artemis kill Orion?

There is no timeframe given for stories like these. However, he was bathing in the ocean when she fired the shot that killed him. Apollo was jealous of the attention she gave to Orion and wagered to her that she couldn't hit a speck floating in the far off sea. That speck was Orion's head. Another older myth actually states that the cause of Orion's death is a sting from a giant scorpion, which was placed in the heavens at the constellation Scorpio.

How did Orion get in the sky?

The stars have always been there in the sky. But in ancient times before artificial lights, the night skies were DARK, and there wasn't much to do except make up stories about the shapes that the primitive hunters and shepherds say in the sky. The story of the great hunter Orion was made up about a pattern of stars that people saw that suggested certain shapes, like a club raised high, a shield, Orion's belt and dagger, and a dog (Canis Major) at Orion's heels.


When did Orion got its name?

Orion received its named from Orion, who was was a giant huntsman in Greek mythology whom Zeus placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion. Ancient sources tell several different stories about Orion; important recorded episodes are his birth somewhere in Boeotia, his visit to Chios where he met Merope and was blinded by her father, Oenopion, the recovery of his sight at Lemnos, his hunting with Artemis on Crete, his death by the bow of Artemis or the sting of the giant scorpion which became Scorpio, and his elevation to the heavens. Most ancient sources omit some of these episodes and several tell only one. These various incidents may originally have been independent, unrelated stories and it is impossible to tell whether omissions are simple brevity or represent a real disagreement. Obviously, the name "Orion" came in the Ancient Greek times (even though the constellation itself was recognized 32,000 - 38,000 years ago. The exact date is unknown (at least for me) and was named well before Homer's time.

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.
