1) Orion, a brave giant hunter, incurs the wrath of the gods by saying, "There is no one in the world who can match me." One day, as Orion was walking, the earth suddenly split open and a giant scorpion jumped out. Orion was killed when the scorpion stung his foot. As a result, it appears as constellation in the winter, the opposite season to Scorpius, which appears in the summer night sky. The two constellation cannot be seen in the same sky.
②Artemis, the goddess of hunting, falls in love with Orion. Artemis' brother Apollo was not happy about this, and when he saw the giant Orion walking through the sea with only his head sticking out, he summoned Artemis.
Apollo calls Orion's head a rock, and says that even Artemis could never shoot it. The arrow hits Orion in the head and he dies. When Artemis realized that it was Orion she had shot, she asked her father, the great god Zeus, to add Orion to constellation. Therefore, Artemis passes by Orion in her silvery chariot once a month.
