What did Orion do, and why does he rise? Has he got to rise? Why was the gent called Orion in them far-off days?
gpt
He did some hunting in his time--with a club, Fergus replied.

He kept making hits, he did. Orion was a spoiler. When he took the field there was no room for the rest of the race. Why does he rise? Because it is a habit. They could always get a rise out of Orion. The Athens _Eirenicon_ said that yeast might fail to rise, but touch the button and Orion would rise like a bird.

Why does he wear the girdle?
human
It is not a girdle--it is a belt, was Dicky Fergus' reply.
gpt
The gods gave it to him because he was a favorite. There was a lady called Artemis--she was the last of them. But he went visiting with Eos, another lady of previous acquaintance, down at a place called Ortygia, and Artemis shot him dead with a shaft Apollo had given her; but she didn't marry Apollo neither. She laid Orion out on the sky, with his glittering belt around him. And Orion keeps on rising.
human
Will he ever stop rising?
gpt
He'll stop long enough to play with Apollo a little, I guess.
