In a Greek fable, it is written that Orion boasted to Artemis and her mother Leto that he would kill every animal on the earth. Although Artemis was known to be a hunter herself, her divinity still offered protection to all creatures. Artemis and Leto sent a poisonous scorpion to deal with Orion. The pair battled and the contest was apparently a lively one that caught the attention of Zeus, who later raised the scorpion to heaven and afterwards, at the request of Artemis, did the same for Orion to serve as a reminder for mortals to curb their excessive pride.
