Orion is my favorite constellation because it is one of the easiest to find and most recognizable. This makes it one of the most popular constellations.

Something about the great hunter struck me. Since then I have loved him. I always look for him. In Greek mythology, Orion is a hunter. In fact, there are many legends containing Orion. Orion would wear a magic lion skin that would protect him from harm. He wielded a club of bronze and went about vanquishing evil creatures. In many legends, Orion is born and killed rather quickly. He dies by accident or dies on purpose.
