Orion’s Dogs were Arctophŏnus (“the bear-killer”) and Ptoophăgos (“the glutton of Ptoon,” in Bœōtia).
Orion’s Wife, Sidê.
Orion. After Orion has set in the west, Aurīga (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.
Such, dalliance as alone the North wind hath with her,
Orithya not enjoyed, from Thrace when he her took,
And in his saily plumes the trembling virgin shook.
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).
