Orion and Scorpius myth

“Does a scorpion sting when fighting back? They strike to kill, and you know I will”

Uncle Jerry discusses the myth of Orion and the Scorpion from classical mythology at length. Orion is a great hunter who is pursued by a scorpion sent by a goddess offended by his arrogance. In various versions, the scorpion stings and kills Orion, and both are cast into the skies as constellations that pursue each other eternally. Angela & Uncle Jerry connect this to the speaker characterizing herself as a scorpion who remains true to her nature and is pervasive in her pursuit.
