Merope (daughter of Oenopion)

[1] Merope was a daughter of King Oenopion, who was a legendary ruler of Chios and son of Princess Ariadne.

The hunter Orion married a lovely woman called Side and when she was punished by Hera, he walked to Chios over the Aegean, and Oenopion welcomed him with a banquet.

[3] In revenge, Oenopion stabbed out Orion's eyes, and then threw him off the island.

[5] The Hungarian mythographer Károly Kerényi, one of the founders of the modern study of mythology, wrote about Merope in Gods of the Greeks.

He sees this as the remnant of a lost form of the myth in which Merope was Orion's mother (converted by later generations to his stepmother).
