The Mighty Hunter
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde
Welcome to the website of Orion the Mighty Hunter!
Orion.
You know me as a magnificent constellation of stars in the winter skies: a giant hunter etched in the cosmos. I am instantly spotted by the geometric perfection of the three stars on my Belt.
I have captivated stargazers and astronomers through the generations since the time I lived, loved, and hunted in Ancient Greece – then made immortal in the heavens in eternal glorious luminescence.
There are many versions of my tumultuous life and untimely demise: I am the Schrödinger’s Cat of Greek mythology: multiple states, multiple stories.
In the stargazing season of 2021 I curated and published Stars of Orion: An Astronomy Special
Stars of Orion: An Astronomy Special
A beautifully illustrated book featuring personal stories and photographs of my Constellation by 45 astronomers – including technical details on how to best view me in the skies.
The ebook and paperback are available from Amazon
The book followed my invitation to Astronomers and
Astrophotographers to showcase their photographs of my stars in a special Constellation Collection.
In October 2024, when I returned to the pre-dawn night sky, my memoir was rewritten and published as a rip-roaring science-fiction thriller:
Orion: The Hunter’s Story
- My confession from a constellation.
- How I lived, loved and died in Ancient Greece.
- Why I was banished to the eternal purgatory of outer space.
- And how, centuries later, my story is a shattering message that will change the world forever.
Available on Amazon as a paperback and ebook
I appeared in modern form in two gripping science-fiction novels written by my scribe in 2019: Fields of Orion
Fields of Orion: An Odyssey (2019)
and the sequel Fields of Orion (II): The Mission (2020)

About 70 years ago, I was reading an astronomy book, and came across a poem that started with “Orion the mighty hunter marches across the sky”. Just wondering if anyone knows what book it was in or who wrote the poem.
Great post! I learned something new and interesting, which I also happen to cover on my blog. It would be great to get some feedback from those who share the same interest about Search Engine Optimization, here is my website Webemail24 Thank you!
