Oenopion

In Greek mythology, Oenopion (Ancient Greek: , Oinopíōn, English translation: "wine drinker", "wine-rich" or "wine face") was a legendary king of Chios, and was said to have brought winemaking to the island, which was assigned to him by Rhadamanthys. Family Oenopion was the son of the Cretan princess Ariadne by Dionysus. He was born on Lemnos. His brothers were Thoas, Staphylus, Latromis, Euanthes, and Tauropolis. By Queen Helike, Oenopion had one daughter, called either Merópē, or Aërō by Parthenius. He also had several sons, namely Melas, Talus, Maron, Euanthes, Salagus and Athamas, who all sailed with him to Chios from Crete. Mythology The most well known story of Oenopion is the one that deals with him receiving the famous giant hunter 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.
