Orion's name derives from Greek Mythology, in which Orion was a gigantic, inhumanly strong hunter of ancient times born to Euryale, a Gorgon and Poseidon (Neptune), god of the sea in the Graeco-Roman tradition.

    Without a doubt, classical Greek myths were created as a means to explain traditions, beliefs, and natural phenomena of archaic Greek society. Although Greek myths seem ancient to the current era, their concepts, and terminology continue to exist and are evident in modern society. In fact, the myths are prevalent in nearly every aspect of modern society due to the extensive reaches and capabilities of corporations.

    In Homer’s The Iliad, rage is a driving force for the mortal characters, unlike the stoic, unemotional nature of the gods. Each human character seems to have his own vendetta, and will go to great lengths to get the justice he feels he deserves.

Achilles and Agamemnon are prime examples of this, pushing forth their agendas due to their rage-filled emotional states, and this directly juxtaposes the unemotional nature of Zeus, the highest of all Greek gods.…
