Why is Orion called the incarnation of the hunter?

In the middle of winter, when the Milky Way leans against the night sky from southeast to northwest, three bright stars with equal intervals can be seen in a straight line between Taurus and Canis canis on the southwest coast of the Milky Way, which is called "Betelgeuse Samsung" in China. In the siege of Samsung, four bright stars (Betelgeuse) formed a rectangular box, and the diagonal center of the box happened to be the star in the middle of Samsung. This rectangular frame and the starry sky around it are Orion.

Orion is the most gorgeous and brightest constellation in the whole day, and it is the gathering place of stars. It has two first-class stars, five second-class stars, three third-class stars and four-class stars 15. Of the 88 constellations in the whole day, no other constellation has the how bright star like Orion.

165438+1At the beginning of October, Orion rose at about 10 in the afternoon. Since then, the rising time has advanced day by day, just appearing in the east at dusk around New Year's Day. In May, Orion rose at eight or nine o'clock in the morning and sank just after dusk.

There are two legends about Orion in ancient Greek mythology. One is that Olian, a hunter, was stabbed and poisoned by a big scorpion (Scorpio) sent by Hera after the shadow, and invited the imperial doctor Askor Pioz (Ophiuchus) to treat them. Zeus killed them all with lightning. After Olian's death, he ascended to heaven and became an Orion. Another legend is that the hunter Olian is the son of Poseidon. He takes his beloved hound Sirius to hunt every day. One day, he met themis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, and fell in love at first sight. But Apollo, Yao's brother, didn't like the hunter. One day, when two brothers and sisters were touring the sky, Apollo saw Olian swimming in the sea, with only one head exposed on the sea, which looked like a black rock in the sea. So he deliberately boasted that his sister was good at fencing and asked her to shoot a reef in the sea for a performance. As a result, Al themis was taken in and shot his lover Olian. Afterwards, she was very sorry and sad and asked Zeus for help. Zeus sympathized with the lovers and agreed to his request, lifting Orion to the sky and placing him in the most splendid position among the stars. This is the most magnificent Orion in winter.
