 Latin sources add that Oenopion was the son of Dionysus . Dionysus sent satyrs to put Orion into a deep sleep so he could be blinded . One source tells the same story but converts Oenopion into Minos of Crete . It adds that an oracle told Orion that his sight could be restored by walking eastward and that he found his way by hearing the Cyclops ' hammer , placing a Cyclops as a guide on his shoulder ; it does not mention <unk> or Lemnos — this is presumably the story of Cedalion recast . Both Hephaestus and the Cyclopes were said to make thunderbolts ; they are combined in other sources . One scholion , on a Latin poem , explains that Hephaestus gave Orion a horse .
