Orion
Orion was poisoned son a great Hunter and a very handsome man
He offended several of the Immortals. The goddess Eos was in love with him but he abandoned her to hunt with Artemis. Apollo was on guard in case Orion insulted or hurt his sister knowing how he behaved with Eos.
Orion then and angered Mother Earth by posting that he could kill all the wild animals and monsters in the world which way of course all Mother Earth's children.
She sent a giant scorpion to attack Orion he fought bravely but soon realised that it could not be killed by mortal weapons. He dived into the sea to escape hoping to reach the island of Delos where Eos would protect him.
It was Artemis who was waiting for him on Delos though. Apollo joint her and bet that she could not hit the small shape bobbing out at sea with her arrow. Apollo knew very well that this was Orion but Artemis accepted his challenge shot and killed him.
When she realised what she had done she begged Asclespius to bring back Orion to life but he was forbidden to do so by Zeus. So Artemis put the image of Orion among the stars where he is forever chased across the sky by the scorpion. (The star sign Scorpio)
