Statue of Apollo known as the Apollo Belvedere, from the Vatican, Rome.


Orion (oh-RYE-un). Gigantic hunter, killed by Artemis. The goddess had been spending a great deal of time hunting with Orion - too much time in the opinion of her brother Apollo, who decided to put an end to the relationship. He tricked Artemis into shooting an arrow at something bobbing far out at sea, which turned out to be the head of the swimming Orion.
