Hi....I love seeing Orion in the night sky, and I find myself wondering who he was or is supposed to be...I know, the hunter, but beyond that, I don't know. Does anyone have information on the origins of the myth?

When did this group of stars come to be called Orion? If you have books to refer me to, that would be great. Thanks!
