 A second full telling ( even shorter than the summary of Hesiod ) is in a Roman @-@ era collection of myths ; the account of Orion is based largely on the mythologist and poet <unk> of Leros . Here Orion is described as earthborn and enormous in stature . This version also mentions Poseidon and Euryale as his parents . It adds a first marriage to Side before his marriage to Merope . All that is known about Side is that Hera threw her into Hades for rivalling her in beauty . It also gives a different version of Orion 's death than the Iliad : Eos , the Dawn , fell in love with Orion and took him to Delos where Artemis killed him .
