## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to determine which statement is true regarding how the myth of Orion is addressed in the given passage. To do this, we need to carefully read and analyze the passage.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The passage describes Orion as a "handsome giant and a mighty hunter". This indicates that Orion is characterized as strong and active, which aligns with option D.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The passage does not use imagery to emphasize Orion's suffering (option A), nor does it use musical elements to create a more harmonious ending to the story of Orion (option C). <br /><br />## Step 4<br />While the passage does depict Orion as a violent character, it does not necessarily characterize him as more violent than he initially appears (option B).
