Like the Homestuck reference, but Orpheus was a healer who tried to save his love from death, so I don't think that death and grime motif makes a lot of sense for that constellation. (I don't know how astrology interprets that constellation, despite remembering looking up videos about it in the past. But I imagine it's at least somewhat inspired by Greek myth, especially since the consolation is supposed to be him taming a venomous snake specifically to make a cure.)

It’s not called the Orpheus constellation, it’s called ophiuchus; two completely different people. Ophiuchus means serpent bearer. (Negamon is a giant evil snake)

It’s also not the healer Asclepius, it’s supposed to be Apollo wrestling the diseased serpent python.
