Orion, the son of Poseidon, the sea god, and Artemis, the moon god (also the goddess of hunting), fell in love, but the moon god’s brother, the sun god Apollo, thought that the god of the lower world was insulting to the family and planned to kill him. Orion.

Later Orion and his faithful hound Sirius (with a puppy) ascended to the sky together and became the brightest and most gorgeous sky area (Winter Triangle). There is also the legend of the Pleiades (Seven Sisters). There is more than one version, the specific poster can check it himself
