The constellation Scorpius has a rich history, dating all the way back to the ancient Chinese, who saw the pattern of stars as a dragon. Another culture in the South Pacific saw a fishhook. In western culture, Scorpius is the nemesis of Orion the Hunter. After Orion's boast that he could slay any beast, the Gods decided to teach him a lesson by stinging his foot with a scorpion. It turned out to be a very hard lesson, since the wound killed him! But the Gods, ever compassionate, immortalized both adversaries by casting them in the heavens. To prevent them from fighting, they were placed on opposite sides of the sky; therefore, the two constellations will never be visible at the same time. Before the constellation boundaries were revised by the ancient Romans, Scorpius included the two main stars of Libra, Zubenelgenbi and Zubenelschemali.
