Orion was a giant hunter and one of Poseidon's unruly sons. He could walk on the sea bed with his head above the waves. Like his one-eyed brother, Polyphemus, Orion was blinded in a fight, but his eyes were healed by the sun god, Helios. Eos, the goddess of the dawn loved him so much that the other gods were jealous. They persuaded Artemis to shoot him with an arrow and after his death he was raised to the stars .
