Book Synopsis
When the hero Orion is slain by a scorpion sent by the god Apollo, his two hunting dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor, are given the honor of shining beside him as constellations during the night, and living among the Olympians during the day. These immortal hounds have many adventures, including the foundation of their own temple, (with their own priest, Dogma, and their own poet, Doggerel) as well as various escapades involving the gods and goddesses of Olympus, Chiron the centaur, and even the ghost of a mortal named Socrates.
