According to Greek Mythology, the constellation of Scorpio is closely related to the history of Orion. Legend tells that he was the son of Poseidon and was famous for his strength and handsome. He was the most handsome man alive. Many girls could not resist his charms. He was a passionate hunter and often boasted that any animal can kill. He and Artemis were hunting partners. According to one version, Artemis did not love him and sent him a small poisonous scorpion that stung and killed Orion. According to another version, Orion fell in love with Artemis and they began to have mutual feelings and they forgot about their hunting. Then her brother Apollo intervened. Once, when Orion was fishing far out into the sea, he argued with his sister that she would not be able to get into the small black dot on the horizon. Artemis accidentally shot Orion in the head thinking she was shooting Scorpio. Any way, Orion and Scorpon died together and were placed by Zeus in the sky, and opposite each other. It seems to the poet that Orion is fleeing from the little Scorpio, who constantly pursues an echo in the edification of all braggarts. Scorpio is a fairly large constellation. A bright star, Antares, is the Scorpion’s heart.
