Orion

=Orion The Hunter=

Orion was a legendary hunter based off greek mythology. Born as the son of Zeus and a mortal woman, Orion was known as a great hunter, and a womanizer. He would roam the land boasting of his skills and making many girlfriends in the process. The virgin goddess Artemis fell in love with him and her brother didn't take kindly. Apollo, Artemis's brother sent a giant scorpion to kill orion. Orion killed the scorpion but stung his foot. He died from the poison. Just to spite Apollo, Artemis placed Orion in the stars durning the winter so Apollo would always see him. Apollo placed the scorpion in the stars during the summer so it would chase Orion for all eternity. What a great relationship.
