Modern mythographers have seen the story of Orion as a way to access local folk tales and cultic practices directly without the interference of ancient high culture ; several of them have explained Orion , each through his own interpretation of Greek prehistory and of how Greek mythology represents it . There are some points of general agreement between them : for example , that the attack on Opis is an attack on Artemis , for Opis is one of the names of Artemis .
|
There was a movement in the late nineteenth century to interpret all the Boeotian heroes as merely personifications of the constellations ; there has since come to be wide agreement that the myth of Orion existed before there was a constellation named for him . Homer , for example , mentions Orion , the Hunter , and Orion , the constellation , but never confuses the two . Once Orion was recognized as a constellation , astronomy in turn affected the myth . The story of Side may well be a piece of astronomical mythology . The Greek word side means pomegranate , which bears fruit while Orion , the constellation , can be seen in the night sky . Rose suggests she is connected with <unk> in Boeotia , and that the pomegranate , as a sign of the Underworld , is connected with her descent there .
|
The 19th @-@ century German classical scholar Erwin Rohde viewed Orion as an example of the Greeks erasing the line between the gods and mankind . That is , if Orion was in the heavens , other mortals could hope to be also .
|
The Hungarian mythographer Karl Kerényi , one of the founders of the modern study of Greek mythology , wrote about Orion in Gods of the Greeks ( 1951 ) . Kerényi portrays Orion as a giant of Titanic vigor and criminality , born outside his mother as were <unk> or Dionysus . Kerényi places great stress on the variant in which Merope is the wife of Oenopion . 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 and then to the present forms ) . Orion 's blinding is therefore parallel to that of Aegypius and Oedipus .
|
In Dionysus ( 1976 ) , Kerényi portrays Orion as a shamanic hunting hero , surviving from Minoan times ( hence his association with Crete ) . Kerényi derives Hyrieus ( and Hyria ) from the Cretan dialect word <unk> - <unk> , meaning " beehive " , which survives only in ancient dictionaries . From this association he turns Orion into a representative of the old mead @-@ drinking cultures , overcome by the wine masters Oenopion and Oeneus . ( The Greek for " wine " is <unk> . ) Fontenrose cites a source stating that Oenopion taught the Chians how to make wine before anybody else knew how .
|
Joseph Fontenrose wrote Orion : the Myth of the Hunter and the Huntress ( 1981 ) to show Orion as the type specimen of a variety of grotesque hero . Fontenrose views him as similar to Cúchulainn , that is , stronger , larger , and more potent than ordinary men and the violent lover of the Divine Huntress ; other heroes of the same type are Actaeon , Leucippus ( son of Oenomaus ) , Cephalus , <unk> , and Zeus as the lover of Callisto . Fontenrose also sees Eastern parallels in the figures of <unk> , Attis , Dumuzi , Gilgamesh , Dushyanta , and Prajapati ( as pursuer of <unk> ) .
|
In The Greek Myths ( 1955 ) , Robert Graves views Oenopion as his perennial Year @-@ King , at the stage where the king pretends to die at the end of his term and appoints a substitute , in this case Orion , who actually dies in his place . His blindness is <unk> from a picture of Odysseus blinding the Cyclops , mixed with a purely Hellenic solar legend : the Sun @-@ hero is captured and blinded by his enemies at dusk , but escapes and regains his sight at dawn , when all beasts flee him . Graves sees the rest of the myth as a syncretism of diverse stories . These include Gilgamesh and the Scorpion @-@ Men , Set becoming a scorpion to kill Horus and the story of <unk> and <unk> from Ras <unk> , as well as a conjectural story of how the priestesses of Artemis Opis killed a visitor to their island of <unk> . He compares Orion 's birth from the bull 's hide to a West African <unk> charm and claims that the son of Poseidon should be a rainmaker .

The ancient Greek and Roman sources which tell more about Orion than his being a gigantic huntsman are mostly both dry and obscure , but poets do write of him : The brief passages in Aratus and Vergil are mentioned above . Pindar celebrates the <unk> <unk> of Thebes " who was not granted the build of an Orion " , but whose strength was still great .
|
Cicero translated Aratus in his youth ; he made the Orion episode half again longer than it was in the Greek , adding the traditional Latin topos of madness to Aratus 's text . Cicero 's <unk> is one of the oldest Latin poems to come down to us as more than isolated lines ; this episode may have established the technique of including <unk> in non @-@ epic poems .
|
Orion is used by Horace , who tells of his death at the hands of Diana / Artemis , and by Ovid , in his Fasti for May 11 , the middle day of the Lemuria , when ( in Ovid 's time ) the constellation Orion set with the sun . Ovid 's episode tells the story of Hyrieus and the three gods , although Ovid is bashful about the climax ; Ovid makes Hyrieus a poor man , which means the sacrifice of an entire ox is more generous . There is also a single mention of Orion in his Art of Love , as a sufferer from unrequited love : " Pale Orion wandered in the forest for Side . "
|
Statius mentions Orion four times in his <unk> ; twice as the constellation , a personification of storm , but twice as the ancestor of Dryas of Tanagra , one of the defenders of Thebes . The very late Greek epic poet Nonnus mentions the oxhide story in brief , while listing the <unk> in his Catalogue of the Boeotian army of Dionysius .

References since antiquity are fairly rare . At the beginning of the 17th century , French sculptor Barthélemy <unk> cast a bronze statue Orion et <unk> , some time between 1600 and 1611 . This featured Orion with Cedalion on his shoulder , in a depiction of the ancient legend of Orion recovering his sight ; the sculpture is now displayed at the Louvre .
|
Nicolas Poussin painted <unk> avec Orion <unk> <unk> le soleil ( 1658 ) ( " Landscape with blind Orion seeking the sun " ) , after learning of the description by the 2nd @-@ century Greek author Lucian , of a picture of Orion recovering his sight ; Poussin included a storm @-@ cloud , which both suggests the transient nature of Orion 's blindness , soon to be removed like a cloud exposing the sun , and includes <unk> Comes ' esoteric interpretation of Orion as a storm @-@ cloud . Poussin need not have consulted Lucian directly ; the passage is in the notes of the illustrated French translation of Philostratus ' Imagines which Poussin is known to have consulted . The Austrian Daniel Seiter ( active in Turin , Italy ) , painted Diane <unk> du cadavre d <unk> ( <unk> ) ( " Diana next to Orion 's corpse " ) , pictured above .
|
In Endymion ( 1818 ) , John Keats includes the line " Or blind Orion hungry for the morn " , thought to be inspired by Poussin . William Hazlitt may have introduced Keats to the painting — he later wrote the essay " On Landscape of Nicholas Poussin " , published in Table Talk , Essays on Men and Manners ( 1821 @-@ 2 ) . Richard Henry Horne , writing in the generation after Keats and Hazlitt , penned the three volume epic poem Orion in 1843 . It went into at least ten editions and was reprinted by the <unk> Press in 1928 .

Science fiction author Ben Bova re @-@ invented Orion as a time @-@ traveling servant of various gods in a series of five novels . In The Blood of Olympus , the final volume of a series , Rick Riordan depicts Orion as one of the giant sons of the Earth Goddess Gaea .

Italian composer Francesco Cavalli wrote the opera , L <unk> in 1653 . The story is set on the Greek island of Delos and focuses on Diana 's love for Orion as well as on her rival , Aurora . Diana shoots Orion only after being tricked by Apollo into thinking him a sea monster — she then laments his death and searches for Orion in the underworld until he is elevated to the heavens . Johann Christian Bach ( ' the English Bach ' ) wrote an opera , Orion , or Diana <unk> 'd , first presented at London 's Haymarket Theatre in 1763 . Orion , sung by a castrato , is in love with Candiope , the daughter of Oenopion , King of Arcadia but his arrogance has offended Diana . Diana 's oracle forbids him to marry Candiope and foretells his glory and death . He bids a touching farewell to Candiope and marches off to his destiny . Diana allows him his victory and then kills him , offstage , with her arrow . In another aria , his mother <unk> ( Queen of Thebes ) , laments his death but ultimately sees his elevation to the heavens . The 2002 opera Galileo Galilei by American composer Philip Glass includes an opera within an opera piece between Orion and Merope . The sunlight , which heals Orion 's blindness , is an allegory of modern science . Philip Glass has also written a shorter work on Orion , as have Tōru Takemitsu , <unk> <unk> , and John <unk> . David Bedford 's late @-@ twentieth @-@ century works are about the constellation rather than the mythical figure ; he is an amateur astronomer .

The twentieth @-@ century French poet René Char found the blind , lustful huntsman , both pursuer and pursued , a central symbol , as James Lawler has explained at some length in his 1978 work René Char : the Myth and the Poem . French novelist Claude Simon likewise found Orion an apt symbol , in this case of the writer , as he explained in his Orion <unk> of 1970 . Marion Perret argues that Orion is a silent link in T. S. Eliot 's The Waste Land ( 1922 ) , connecting the lustful Actaeon / Sweeney to the blind <unk> and , through Sirius , to the Dog " that 's friend to men " .

Yours Truly is the result of three years of work . The project underwent significant conceptual and sonic changes throughout that time . Grande began working on the album in August 2010 while she was filming Victorious and formally started to work on it with a record label after she was signed to Republic Records on August 10 , 2011 . By September 10 of that year , Grande already had twenty songs prepared and was going through the process of narrowing it down to thirteen . The first single , a bubblegum pop song called " Put Your Hearts Up " , was released on December 12 , 2011 . The single was aimed at young audiences , perhaps intending to cater to Grande 's core audience , which at that time was almost entirely made up by kids who knew her from Victorious . During an interview in June 2012 , Grande described everything on the album as being " 50s , 60s doo @-@ wop @-@ inspired " and revealed that two new singles were going to be released before the album , one of which was called " Do You Love Me ? " and featured <unk> . Other songs that Grande had named ( and later leaked ) as being part of the album included " Honeymoon Avenue " , " Voodoo Love " , " Pink Champagne " , " Boyfriend Material " , " Tattooed Heart " , " Daydreamin ' " and " You 're My Only Shorty " . The latter one was eventually recorded by Demi Lovato who included it on her 2011 R & B @-@ infused album Unbroken .

In 2013 , Grande met up with her label and expressed dissatisfaction with the direction the album was taking . In several interviews during 2013 , she admitted to having completely disliked her debut single " Put Your Hearts Up " and not having an interest in pursuing music of that genre . She expressed a desire to make the type of music she grew up listening to , which was , " urban pop , 90s music . " Rapper Iggy Azalea turned down working on the album ; she however did collaborate with Grande on her second album My Everything . The album was originally titled Daydreamin and set to be released during August 2013 .

The album is inspired by a variety of different artists , ranging from Amy Winehouse and Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston . Grande describes the album 's first half is a " throwback " to the R & B music of the 1990s , and the second half is she describes as " something that is very unique and very special that I 've sort of written " which is completely original . In summation of the record she stated : " So half of it is a throwback and like very familiar feeling , feel @-@ good , and then half of it is something that I 've created that 's sort of special and unique and refreshing and wonderful and I love it " .

" Collar closed the statement saying that Yours Truly " makes the most of her talent . " Nick Catucci of Entertainment Weekly graded the album an A- , calling the album " pure pop bliss " and " one of the most purely enjoyable albums of the year " that is powered by her " lithe , Broadway @-@ honed voice " . At The New York Times , Jon Caramanica gave a positive review of the album , writing that television shows such as American Idol and Glee " have been responsible for an intense surge of interest in music on television , but they haven 't left much of a mark on the shape of pop . That 's because both shows are fundamentally conservative institutions , privileging the familiar and the unchallenging . They 're about emulating , not innovating . " Caramanica commended Grande for becoming the first " identifiable pop star " who takes the " rules of those enterprises , uses them as a foundation , and innovates atop them ... She uses the " Glee " / " Idol " template as a jumping @-@ off point to make modern pop @-@ R & B with a sturdy vintage backbone . "

= Russian battleship Sevastopol ( 1911 ) =
|
Sevastopol ( Russian : Севастополь ) was the first ship completed of the Gangut @-@ class battleships of the Imperial Russian Navy , built before World War I. The Ganguts were the first class of Russian dreadnoughts . She was named after the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War . She was completed during the winter of 1914 – 15 , but was not ready for combat until mid @-@ 1915 . Her role was to defend the mouth of the Gulf of Finland against the Germans , who never tried to enter , so she spent her time training and providing cover for minelaying operations . Her crew joined the general mutiny of the Baltic Fleet after the February Revolution and joined the Bolsheviks later that year . She was laid up in 1918 for lack of manpower , but her crew joined the Kronstadt Rebellion of 1921 . She was renamed Parizhskaya Kommuna after the rebellion was crushed to commemorate the Paris Commune and to erase the ship 's ' betrayal ' of the Communist Party .
|
She was recommissioned in 1925 , and refitted in 1928 in preparation for her transfer to the Black Sea the following year . Parizhskaya Kommuna and the cruiser Profintern ran into a severe storm in the Bay of Biscay that severely damaged Parizhskaya Kommuna 's false bow . They had to put into Brest for repairs , but reached Sevastopol in January 1930 . Parizhskaya Kommuna was comprehensively reconstructed in two stages during the 1930s that replaced her boilers , upgraded her guns , augmented her anti @-@ aircraft armament , modernized her fire @-@ control systems and gave her anti @-@ torpedo bulges . During World War II she provided gunfire support during the Siege of Sevastopol and related operations until she was withdrawn from combat in April 1942 when the risk from German aerial attack became too great . She was retained on active duty after the war until she became a training ship in 1954 . She was broken up in 1956 – 57 .
