He was a god. No. Orion was the great-hunter hero of a culture that probably pre-dated the Greek and got absorbed into the Classical Greek mythology. He was killed either by the bow of Artemis or from a sting from a scorpion.
Who is Orion in greek mythology?
Orion was one of the best human hunters and a companion of Artemis. He was eventually killed by a giant scorpion. If you want to read more about Greek myths, I recommend D'aulaires Book of Greek Myths.
Which Roman goddess lost her love?
I think you are referring to Diana losing Orion. Diana, the Roman goddess of the Hunt, had a companion named Orion. Some myths say she fell in love with him, but since Diana is a virgin goddess, others say Orion was just a close companion. Anyway, Orion was one of the few men Diana ever favored. However Orion died by being stung by a giant scorpion or by Diana's own hand.
Is Orion a god?
No. In Greek mythology Orion was a demigod son of Poseidon. He was a companion of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, until he was killed by the goddess or by a scorpion. The constellation Orion is a chance arrangement of stars in the sky. The human tendency to see patterns where none really exist causes us to see the shape of a human with a raised arm.
What did baby Hercules kill in his bed?
