 The story of Orion and Oenopion also varies . One source refers to Merope as the wife of Oenopion and not his daughter . Another refers to Merope as the daughter of Minos and not of Oenopion . The longest version ( a page in the Loeb ) is from a collection of melodramatic plots drawn up by an Alexandrian poet for the Roman Cornelius Gallus to make into Latin verse . It describes Orion as slaying the wild beasts of Chios and looting the other inhabitants to make a bride @-@ price for Oenopion 's daughter , who is called <unk> or <unk> . Oenopion does not want to marry her to someone like Orion , and eventually Orion , in frustration , breaks into her bedchamber and rapes her . The text implies that Oenopion blinds him on the spot .
