- Orion was the son of Neptune. He was a handsome giant and a
- mighty hunter. His father gave him the power of wading
- through the depths of the sea, or, as others say, of
- walking on its surface.
- He dwelt as a hunter with Diana (Artemis), with whom he
- was a favourite, and it is even said she was about to marry
- him. Her brother was highly displeased and often chid her,
- but to no purpose. One day, observing Orion wading through
- the sea with his head just above the water, Apollo pointed
- it out to his sister and maintained that she could not hit
- that black thing on the sea. The archer-goddess discharged
- a shaft with fatal aim. The waves rolled the dead body of
- Orion to the land, and bewailing her fatal error with many
- tears, Diana placed him among the stars, where he appears
- as a giant, with a girdle, sword, lion's skin, and
- club. Sirius, his dog, follows him, and the Pleiads fly
- before him.
