Description
For all that he is one of the most well-known classic constellations, Orion’s story varies wildly. Orion’s first appearance in Greek literature is Homer’s the Odyssey, where Odysseus sees his shade in the underworld. But, he has no one, definitive story. Orion’s end came either at the hand of Artemis, being struck by her arrow, or the sting of a giant scorpion, which later became the constellation Scorpio.
