Loading contentIn Greek mythology Orion was a giant and a great hunter. Several versions of his story survive; in many he meets his death and is afterward placed among the stars.
Tales link Orion with the goddess Artemis and with the scorpion that, in some versions, brings about his end — which is why, the myths say, Orion and the constellation Scorpius are set on opposite sides of the sky.
The constellation Orion is among the most easily recognized, marked by the three bright stars of Orion's Belt. It is a prominent feature of the winter evening sky in the Northern Hemisphere.
