The scorpion that defeated Orion
Orion, the most famous hunter in Greek mythology, boasted that he could kill any animal. In one version, the Earth sent a scorpion that stung him on the heel and killed him. Other versions say Artemis sent it. Both ended up in the sky, on opposite sides: when the scorpion rises over the horizon, Orion hides, as if he were still running away.
Antares, the red star that marks the scorpion's heart, means "rival of Mars" because of its colour. Tradition links the sign with intensity and the ability to hold on to what matters.
Myths come in several versions. This is one of the most widespread.
