This celestial shape has been significant to numerous civilizations. chinese astronomers saw a mighty dragon. ancient greek mythology recognizes scorpius as the animal that bested hunter orion; he was able to inflict the fatal wound on the hero's leg, which is now visible in the sky beginning at rigel. The hunter and the scorpion are on opposite sides of the heavens to keep them separated-with scorpius rising in the east in the spring just as orion sets in the west after a winter in the northern sky.
