• The Myth of Orion Jul 28, 2025

  

  In the ancient days when gods and mortals mingled more freely upon the earth, there was born a man whose size, strength, and skill as a hunter would become legendary throughout all the lands. This was Orion, whose very name would one day blaze across the night sky for all eternity.

  Orion’s birth was as extraordinary as his life would prove to be. His father was Poseidon, god of the seas, who had fallen in love with Euryale, a beautiful mortal woman and one of the Gorgon sisters before their terrible transformation. From his divine father, Orion inherited not only immense size and strength, but also the ability to walk upon the surface of the sea as easily as upon dry land.
