Greek mythology is embodied, explicitly, in a large collection of narratives,
and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and
votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and
details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes,
heroines, and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated
in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from
Greek literature. The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic
poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on events surrounding the Trojan War.

Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the
Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession
of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and
the origin of sacrificial practices. Myths also are preserved
in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of theEpic Cycle, in
lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians of the fifth century BC, in writings
of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age and in texts from the time of the
Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias.

Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology,
with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts.
Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the
Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic,
Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes
appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence. Greek mythology has had an
extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and
remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists
from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology
and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.

Tidaklah terlalu mengejutkan bahwa rasi terkenal ini mempunyai banyak cerita
tentangnya dalam mitologi Yunani.
tentangnya dalam mitologi Yunani.
Dalam salah satu versi, Orion menganggap dirinya sebagai pemburu terbesar
di dunia. Hal ini terdengar oleh Hera, istri Zeus, dan dia memutuskan untuk
mengirim kalajengking pada Orion. Orion pun disengat hingga mati oleh
kalajengking itu. Zeus menyesali hal ini dan menempatkan Orion di langit.
Kalajengking itu pun juga ditempatkan di langit, sebagai rasi bintang Scorpius.
Fakta yang cukup menarik bahwa saat satu dari dua rasi bintang ini terbit dari
horison, rasi yang lain akan sudah terbenam. Dengan demikian dua pesaing ini
tidak akan pernah bertemu kembali.

Mungkin saja nama rasi bintang ini mendahului mitologinya. Orion mungkin
dinamai dari bahasa Akkadia Uru-anna, cahaya langit, suatu nama yang
kemudian masuk ke dalam mitologi Yunani. Oleh karena itu, mitos di sekitar
Orion mungkin dirumuskan dari posisi rasi-rasi bintang di sekitarnya.

Orion mungkin dirumuskan dari posisi rasi-rasi bintang di sekitarnya.
Dalam beberapa penggambaran, Orion tampak disusun oleh tiga badan, memiliki
tiga tangan, dua kaki yang terbuka, dan satu di bagian tengah yang kecil. Oleh
karena itu, bersama dengan rasi-rasi lainnya di daerah lambang Zodiak Gemini
(Bima Sakti, bagian yang sekarang merupakan rasi Camelopardalis dan Lynx,
dan juga rasi Gemini, Auriga, dan Canis Major), ini merupakan asal-muasal dari
mitos sang ternak Geryon, yang menjadi Keduabelas Pekerja Herakles.
