Oenopion,
He sought the blacksmith at his forge,
And, climbing up the mountain gorge,
Fixed his blank eyes upon the sun.

Longfellow, _The Occultation of Orion_.

_Orion and the Blacksmith._ The reference is to the blacksmith mentioned
in the preceding article, whom Orion took on his back to act as guide
to the place where the rising sun might be best seen.

_Orion's Dogs_ were Arctoph[)o]nus ("the bear-killer") and Ptooph[)a]gos
("the glutton of Ptoon," in Boe[=o]tia).

_Orion's Wife_, Sid[^e].

_Orion._ After Orion has set in the west, _Aur[=i]ga_ (the Charioteer)
and _Gem'ini_ (Castor and Pollux) are still visible. Hence Tennyson
says:

... the Charioteer
And starry Gemini hang like glorious crowns
Over Orion's grave low down in the west.

_Maud_, III. vi. 1 (1855).

_Orion_, a seraph, the guardian angel of Simon Peter.--Klopstock, _The
Messiah_, iii. (1748).

=Orith'yia= or =Orith'ya=, daughter of Erectheus, carried off by Boreas to
Thrace.

Drayton, _Polyolbion_, x. (1612).

Phineas Fletcher calls the word "Orithy'a."

None knew mild zephyr's from cold Eurus' mouth,
Nor Orithya's lover's violence [_North wind_].

_Purple Island_, i. (1633).

=Orlando=, the younger son of Sir Rowland de Bois [_Bwor_]. At the
death of his father, he was left under the care of his elder brother,
Oliver, who was charged to treat him well; but Oliver hated him,
wholly neglected his education, and even tried by many indirect means
to kill him. At length, Orlando fled to the forest of Arden', where he
met Rosalind and Celia in disguise. They had met before at a
wrestling match, when Orlando and Rosalind fell in love with each
other. The acquaintance was renewed in the forest, and ere many days
had passed the two ladies resumed their proper characters, and both
were married, Rosalind to Orlando, and Celia to Oliver, the elder
brother.--Shakespeare, _As You Like It_ (1598).

_Orlando_ (in French ROLAND, _q.v._), one of the paladins of
Charlemagne, whose nephew he was. Orlando was confiding and loyal, of
great stature, and possessed unusual strength. He accompanied his uncle
into Spain, but on his return was waylaid in the valley of Roncesvall[^e]s
(in the Pyrenees) by the traitor
