The Greek myth associated with Scorpio involves the god Orion and the goddess Artemis. One day, the smug and brutish Orion boasted that he was the ultimate hunter and that he would kill every animal on Earth to prove it.

Artemis, the goddess of hunting, was in love with him and therefore had no intention of stopping him. This angered Apollo, Orion's twin brother who, with the help of Gaia, the Earth goddess, created a fierce scorpion to kill him. The two fought and the scorpion won. In recognition of his good deed in preventing the extinction of all animals, Zeus honored him by placing him in the sky as the constellation Scorpio.
