Orion Mythology: Orion is a character from Greek mythology, a giant hunter who was placed in the stars by Zeus upon his death. In the night sky Orion was perceived by ancient Greeks as defending himself against the nearby constellation of Taurus the bull.
In one version of the myth Orion was the son of Poseidon, the Greek God of the sea, from whom he inherited an ability to walk on water. Orion walked across the sea to the island of Chios where he attacked the daughter of the island ruler in a drunken rage. Orion was blinded by the ruler in an act of retaliation but was later healed by Helios, the Greek personification of the sun. Orion later became arrogant with his great hunting abilities and vowed to kill every creature on the planet. The Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, responded by sending a giant scorpion to destroy him. In the ensuing battle Orion was killed and both he and the scorpion were placed amongst the stars.
