There are many stories surrounding the legend of Scorpio. However, Orion The Hunter seems to be at the center of them all.

Orion was a Greek giant with killer looks and the ability to have his way with any woman. He was an expert hunter and often bragged about his conquests. Both the animal and female varieties!

The most popular myth surrounding the connection between Scorpio and Orion goes something like this:

When Orion “conquered” the goddess Eos, Apollo heard of his boasting and became enraged. Apollo was the protector of animals. As a result he knew Orion was a hunter.

Because of this Apollo sent a scorpion to sting and kill Orion.

In the end, both Orion and the Scorpion were immortalized by being placed among the stars as constellations. However, they were placed on opposite sides of the sky to prevent any more trouble between the two.
