Respuesta :

The correct answer is option D. Scorpius is hunting Orion, so Orion is hiding from Scorpius during the summer.

Greek myths are stories that have gods and characters with supernatural characteristics. They aim to  explain:

  • the origin of things in the world,
  • the ancient Greek rituals
  • Ancient Greek culture.

The myth about Scorpius and Orion says that Orion was a great hunter who wanted to kill all the animals on Earth. However, Gaia, the goddess that protected animals,s told a giant scorpion called Scorpio to kill Orion with its stinger. As Scorpio saved the Earth from being left without animals, Gaia put the image of Scorpio chasing Orion in the night sky, so when the stars move, we can see how Scorpio hunts Orion and hides from it during summer.

In conclusion, the Greek stories do not give a scientific explanation as to why Scorpius and Orion are in the sky at different times of the year, but they explained it from what it meant from their culture, which is Scorpio hunting Orion.
