OK, I´ll try once more:
Quote from -
Orion (mythology) - Wikipedia
“In Greek mythology,
Orion (
/əˈraɪən/; Ancient Greek: Ὠρίων or Ὠαρίων; Latin:
Orion)
[1] was a giant huntsman whom Zeus (or perhaps Artemis) placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion”.
Me: OK then. The myth of Orion belongs to the celestial realms.
Furthermore:
“Ancient sources tell several different stories about Orion; there are two major versions of his birth and several versions of his death. The most important recorded episodes are his birth somewhere in Boeotia, . . .”.
“
Boeotia, sometimes alternatively Latinised as
Boiotia, or
Beotia, is one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of Central Greece. Its capital is Livadeia, and its largest city is Thebes”.
Me: We now have an Orion star constellation which is suggested by scholars and authors to have been born in Boetia, Greece. Please tell me how a star constellation can be born on the Earth?
Such nonsense is what happen when "
scholars, readers, and authors" don´t understand the very mythical context, despite the clear notion of the celestial location of the Orion constellation. Such disconnected nonsense can be read in lots of books and encyclopedia.
They don´t make the correct mytho-astronomically and cosmologically connections because they exclusively just read the myth intellectually as a personalized myth, completely disconnected from the real celestial facts.
Furthermore:
“In Greek literature he (Me: Orion) first appears as a great hunter in Homer's epic the
Odyssey, where Odysseus sees his shade in the underworld”.
Me: Here you have the Norse Myth connection of Thor and Orion. They are both “hunting giant celestial monsters”. Besides this: Do you think “the Underworld” to be a geographic location in Greece too?
Furthermore:
“Orion served several roles in ancient Greek culture. The story of the adventures of Orion, the hunter, is the one for which there is the most evidence (and even for that, not very much); he is also the personification of the constellation of the same name; he was venerated as a hero, in the Greek sense, in the region of Boeotia;
and there is one etiological passage which says that Orion was responsible for the present shape of the Strait of Sicily”.
(The Strait of Sicily is the strait between Sicily and Tunisia. The strait is about 145 kilometres (90 mi) wide and divides the Tyrrhenian Sea and the western Mediterranean Sea, from the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The maximum depth is 316 meters (1,037 ft).
Me: How can the Orion star constellation possibly be responsible for this Mediterranean strait between Sicily and Tunisia?
You see? This is exactly what happen when "
scholars, readers, and authors" don´t understand the very mythical context, despite the clear notion of the celestial location of the Orion constellation.
They don´t make the correct mytho-astronomically and cosmologically connections because they exclusively just read the myth intellectually as a personalized myth, completely disconnected from the real celestial facts of the motion of one star constellation amongst other star constellation motions and the imagery contours of the Milky Way.
And, by calling my (35 years) interpretative analysis and notions simply as “
regurgitating the same argument”, you´re apparently no better yourself in understanding the myths and it´s astronomical and cosmological connections.
I suggest you to re-read the Orion myth in its correct location and it´s very context and look at the Orion constellation as a celestial imagery and motion which provides the very story of the Orion Myth.
When I´m comparing the ancient cultural myths, I´m not biased.
