Scorpio, the Scorpion |
|
| Orion was the son of Neptune (god of the sea) and was a giant of beauty and a great hunter. Orion was carried off by Eos, goddess of dawn, when she fell in love with him. Diana, goddess of the Moon, became jealous that Eos would take a mortal as a lover and ordered a scorpion to kill Orion by stinging him to death. Jupiter placed both Orion and the scorpion in the heavens as their own constellations. | |
