However, different cultures have their own names and interpretations for the constellation:
* In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant hunter. This is where the constellation gets its name.
* In Egypt, it was associated with the god Osiris.
* In Babylonian astronomy, it was known as "The Slasher".
These are just a few examples, and many other cultures have their own stories and names for the constellation. But in the modern Western world, it's almost exclusively known as Orion.
