Orion Scorpion Death

myth:orion_scorpion_death

Boasting he would kill every creature on earth, Orion roused the Earth's anger, and she sent a scorpion that stung him dead. The two were set at opposite ends of the sky, so that as the Scorpion climbs in the east the hunter flees below the western edge — they are never seen together, the chase written into the wheel of the year. — Greek myth
