The Myth Of Orion The Hunter
Orion was the son of Neptune (the sea god) and Queen Euryale of the Amazons, a masterful hunter. Orion grew up and inherited his mom's talent and became the worlds greatest hunter.Yet, with this amazing strength came an amazing ego. An ego so big, that he said he could best any animal in fight. After saying this, a small scorpion stung and killed him.
