    The constellation I have chosen is found on the celestial equator, and is one of the most recognisable constellations in the world; Orion, named after a hunter in Greek mythology. Orion is made up of seven main stars that make something of an 'hourglass' shape, with four stars making a rectangle-like shape; Betelgeuse and Bellatrix making up his 'shoulders', and Saiph and Rigel making up his 'feet'. This rectangle is then tethered in at the middle by three stars to finish off the hourglass shape and act as Orion's 'belt'; these stars are named Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak. There are of course other stars that make up other aspects such as a sword, a shield, a club, and his head, but these are often too faint to see by eyesight alone and often…

    Apollo is the god of music, plague and prophecy while Hermes is the god of trade and thieves. They are both sons of Zeus as are half-brothers. From birth, Apollo was born with power and recognition as a god, while Hermes had to build his reputation through his use of metis. If the two brothers were to be compared to each other, Apollo would be seen more as a god-like entity.
