The mythical origin of the constellation Orion is linked to the story of a great hunter in various ancient cultures. In Greek mythology, Orion was born from the earth, and his skills were unparalleled. He was said to have hunted alongside the goddess Artemis. After his death, he was immortalized in the sky, represented by a constellation of the same name, visually characterized by his belt of three stars. Other cultures, like the Sumerians and Native Americans, have their own interpretations of Orion, often associating him with themes of heroism and guidance.
