Was Orion's lover Artemis or Athena... or both?

I've found accounts of both but also of Apollo being his lover. I'm asking mostly in regard to the constellation and it's Greek mythological origins. What's the most common or widely accepted form, that Athena was his lover or that Artemis was?
 
Artemis. Athena was a virgin goddess and had no lovers.

EDIT: I stand corrected. The young lady below is correct. Orion pursued Artemis as a lover but never consumated the affair.
 
Well Artemis was a strong believer of never giving up her virginity, she may have liked Orion because he was a skilled hunter and Artemis herself was also a great hunter in fact she was the goddess of hunting, but she killed him because he tried to rape her supposable.
In the Illiad, Eos the goddess of Dawn, was actually Orion's lover.
I never really heard/read Athena being his lover.
