Probably becasue it is in another part of the sky.

There is a mythological significance to this, but since it's just a made up story, it has nothing to do with the actual reason why, which is that the two constellations are very nearly opposite each other in the sky.

What is the popular name of the constellation Scropius?

Well, the is no constellation "Scropius". Assuming you meant "Scorpius" the translation of that name into English is, "scorpion", but I am not sure that that is a "popular name". I generally hear people referring to this constellation as "Scorpius" or "Scorpio" (which is wrong) and only rarely as "the scorpion". If there is another common name I am afraid that I don't know what it is. Of course other cultures called these stars other names.
