Editing Oenopion (section)

== Mythology ==
The most well known story of Oenopion is the one that deals with him receiving the famous giant hunter [[Orion (mythology)|Orion]] as a guest, with Orion's subsequent attempt to violate his daughter. The story differs somewhat in different ancient sources; what follows is [[Hesiod]]'s version. For the details, see [[Orion (mythology)|Orion]].

Orion walked to Chios over the [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]], and Oenopion welcomed him with a banquet; Orion got drunk and assaulted Merope. In revenge, Oenopion stabbed out Orion's eyes, and then threw him off the island. [[Hephaestus]] took pity on the blind Orion and gave him his servant [[Cedalion]] as a guide. Cedalion guided him east, where the rising sun restored Orion's sight. Orion then decided to kill Oenopion, but the Chians had built the king an underground fortress, and Orion couldn't find him. (Other sources say it was an iron fortress, built by Hephaestus.) Orion then went to Crete.<ref name="Parthenius2">[[Parthenius of Nicaea|Parthenius]], [https://topostext.org/work/550#20 20]</ref><ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], 1.4.3</ref><ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''[[De astronomia]]'' [https://topostext.org/work/207#2.34.3 2.34.3]</ref><ref>[[Pseudo]]-[[Eratosthenes]], ''[[Catasterismi]]'' 32</ref>
