	'''Var. 1 (Περὶ τοῦ Ὀρίωνος)''': <blockquote>'''Var. 2 (Ὀρίωνος)''': Hesiod says that he was the son of Euryale, daughter of Minos, and Poseidon, and that he received the gift of walking on water as on land; he went to Chios where, after getting drunk, he raped Merope, daughter of Oinopion.</blockquote><blockquote>Oinopiôn learned of this and, enraged by this outrage, gouged out his eyes and banished him from his country. Orion arrived as a vagabond in Lemnos, where he came into contact with Hephaestus, who took pity on him and gave him Cedalion, his own servant, to guide him. Orion took him and put him on his shoulders so that he could show him the way. He went to the east, came into contact with Helios and, apparently, was healed. He then returned to Oinopion to take revenge on him, but the latter had been hidden underground by his compatriots. Despairing of finding him, Orion left for Crete and devoted himself to hunting, hunting in the company of Artemis and Leto and, apparently, he threatened to exterminate all the beasts that appeared on earth. Angry with him, Earth brought forth a gigantic scorpion that killed him by stinging him with its sting. This is why Zeus, considering his courage, placed him among the constellations at the request of Artemis and Leto, and also placed the scorpion there, so that the event would be remembered.</blockquote><blockquote>Others say that Orion, as an adult, fell in love with Artemis, and that it was she who conjured up the scorpion and sent it against him; he was stung by the scorpion and died. The gods, pitying his fate, placed him in the sky among the constellations, along with the animal, so that the event would be remembered. Orion has three bright stars on his head, one bright star on each shoulder, one dim star on his right elbow, one dim star on his hand, three stars on his belt, three dim stars on his dagger, one bright star on each knee, and one bright star on each foot. A total of seventeen.</blockquote>(Eratosthenes, edited and translated by Pamias, Geus and Zucker.)<ref>Ératosthènes de Cyrène: Catastérrismes, translated by Pamìas, Jordi und Zucker, Arnaud, Les Belles Lettres, Paris 2013</ref>		'''Var. 1 (Περὶ τοῦ Ὀρίωνος)''': --- [doesn't exist] --- <blockquote>'''Var. 2 (Ὀρίωνος)''': Hesiod says that he was the son of Euryale, daughter of Minos, and Poseidon, and that he received the gift of walking on water as on land; he went to Chios where, after getting drunk, he raped Merope, daughter of Oinopion.</blockquote><blockquote>Oinopiôn learned of this and, enraged by this outrage, gouged out his eyes and banished him from his country.
