Orion

In the myth of Orion we see the human qualities that the gods posses. When Orion is with Diana, it was said that he was about to marry her, and out of sheer jealousy, Apollo confused the archer goddess into killing the giant. I come back to the point I made in one of my Gilgamesh blogs, why are the gods envious of humans and in this case giants? Apollo could easily get any woman he wanted if he chose to, so why be jealous of his sister?
Another feeling that the gods have, is pity. We see that out of pity, Orion's vision is fixed, and because of pity, Diana takes him in.
