He was originally a good guy, but then he decided to be an idiot and go on this stupid quest to kill every single animal on the earth. Real smart right?
So this, of course, upset Gaia (the Earth goddess) and Artemis, (the goddess of Hunting, Forests, and Animals) who sent a giant scorpion after him.
Sadly, Orion lost the battle with the scorpion. While dying, Orion pleaded with his father Zeus (ruler of the gods) to save him. So Zeus took Orion and placed him in the sky where he forever protects the Seven Sisters from the great bull Taurus. All while battling the scorpion, which Zeus placed in the sky as a punishment to Orion's stupidity. You can still see those constellations in the night sky today.
