Legends of the Night Sky: Orion / Live Sky Tour

The legend of Orion, the mighty hunter, comes to life! From his humble beginnings in the faraway land of Thrace, to his daring hunting exploits, and romances on the islands of Chios and Crete, Orion and his faithful hunting dogs, Sirius and Procyon, move from adventure to adventure. Eventually, having earned the scorn of Apollo, Orion battles Scorpius, the scorpion, in a fight to the death.
