The myth of Orion

In Greek mythology, Poseidon had a son named Aolaiwen. Oliver was born as tall and strong as his father. But he doesn't like living in the sea. Instead, he often comes to Shan Ye to climb mountains and hunt. However, he is Poseidon's son, so he can walk like a fly even at sea.

Accompanied by him all day is a hound named Sirius, who is as brave as his master. He always rushes to the front when hunting and always stands in front of Aolaiwen when he meets wild animals.

After a long time, Aolaiwen often met the moon god and hunting goddess themis when hunting. The two were quickly attracted by each other's elegance and superb hunting skills. Later, they often walked in the mountains together, climbed cliffs and climbed dangerous peaks, and talked about everything.

All this made Apollo, the sun god, very angry. He was afraid that his sister Al themis would be like herself and Daphne. He knew Artemis was a stubborn girl, and persuasion would not impress her at all. Apollo was cruel and came up with a deadly trap.

One day, Diana and Olivan went to the seaside to play. Oliver proposed to Di Anna, and Di Anna agreed, but Apollo let the scorpion and Oliver fight in the water. Apollo asked Di Anna to shoot the scorpion with an arrow, so they got married. If Olivan was shot, Di Anna was very confident and really shot the scorpion, but Olivan was poisoned by scorpion venom.

This tragedy made Zeus cry. He collected Aolaiwen's body, lifted him to the sky and turned him into Orion. We can't be together all the time before we die, and finally we will be together forever with Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Sirius also won the sympathy of Zeus with his loyalty, ascended to heaven and continued to accompany his master. This is a dog. In order not to make Sirius lonely, Zeus also specially found a partner for him-a puppy. Zeus knew that Aolaiwen liked hunting best before his death, so he put a small prey beside him-the sky map.
