Orion was the great hunter of Greek legend, the Hellenic Nimrod (Genesis 10.9).  He had dealings, both friendly and unfriendly, with the huntress-goddess Artemis. There are other hunters in Greek story who on study show a resemblance to Orion in character and deeds and a smilar relationship to Artemis or to one of her companion nymphs.  The purpose of this study is to explore these myths and to find a common pattern or type, the myth from which all are derived.
