To those who think this is out of character for Artemis, you are correct! This is an exclusively Roman telling of Orion’s story, and Pseudo-Hyginus is the only one to write it this way. In the actual Greek myths, there are many versions and they all say either Gaia or Artemis killed him (either because he boasted about being able to slay all creatures on Earth, or because he tried to assault one of Artemis’ maidens), but none of them mention any kind of romance between them.

Apollo out loud: I have to protect my sisters Virtue.
Apollo in his mind: if I’m not getting laid either are you sis.

[boardcertifiable]

Artemis: I will hang my friends image in the sky to commemorate our friendship.

Apollo: and I will hang the image of the scorpion that did me a solid in killing your friend.

Artemis. :/

I bet losing Orion only strengthened Artemis conviction to keep her chastity 'cause if Orion couldn't have it, no man could.

[dashaadashaa]

After watching this: Apollo: i can explain
Artemis: no you can't

L'amore di Artemide e Orione sarà anche solo una versione della storia, ma è una versione bellissima. Triste e commovente

[antonioiadevaia]

Questa era la sola e unica volta in cui Artemide era davvero e sinceramente innamorata di qualcuno. Lo si capisce del fatto che lei era molto devastata dalla sua morte.

Even gods can be envy. Apollo been through many bad relationships. And now, with artemis in a relationship with a giant... Apollo takes action.

Und bis heute verfolgt der Skorpion Orion über den Himmel...

[JPK]

The only thing that Rick Riordan did makes my blood boil is how he protrayed Orion in the "The Blood of Olympus."

[cgt]

I would like to imagine that after this she started to become the godess of the moon so that she can watch over her former companion all day.

[hakimdiwan]

Am I seriously the only one who is wondering how their "union" would have worked?

[charliemcternan]

The only one she loved and then killed

[Mardanzo]

Orion wasn't a literal giant, he was just a tall demigod

[sifilore]

I don't know rather Apollo was looking out for his sister or something else on his mind.

After seeing OSP’s video on this myth, I think I prefer the version that maintains Artemis’s character

[prider]

Ok no the true myth goes like this: Orion, after the first meeting with Artemis, boasted about being the best Hunter ever so Apollo became jealous and overprotective over Artemis and he sent the scorpion to hunt down Orion. Of course, Orion got scared and he ran straight to the sea and then Apollo tricked Artemis into a wager: she must hit a small dot in the sea in order to prove that she was the best Hunter ever. And she did although she didn't know that the dot was actually Orion her friend. And she put his soul on the stars in order to remember him. Apollo put the scorpion right next to Orion as the constellation of the Scorpio. And that's how the myth is known. Learn it better please and don't use inaccurate information
