In Greek mythology, Oenopion (Ancient Greek: Οἰνοπίων, "wine drinker" or "wine-face") was legendary king of Chios, said to have brought winemaking to the island. Son of Dionysus and Ariadne, he is best known for blinding the hunter Orion after Orion assaulted his daughter Merope (or Aëro).

I.Family
Oenopion was son of the Cretan princess Ariadne by Dionysus, born on Lemnos; brothers include Thoas, Staphylus, Latromis, Euanthes, and Tauropolis. By Queen Helike he had a daughter Merópē (or Aërō in Parthenius) and sons Melas, Talus, Maron, Euanthes, Salagus, and Athamas, who sailed with him from Crete to Chios. Pausanias records the colonial voyage; Rhadamanthys was said to have assigned him the island.
II.Orion on Chios
The best-known myth has Orion walk to Chios and be welcomed with a banquet. Drunk, he assaulted Merope. In revenge Oenopion put out Orion's eyes and cast him from the island. Hephaestus pitied the blind hunter and gave him Cedalion as guide; led eastward, Orion regained his sight from the rising sun.
Orion then sought to kill Oenopion, but the Chians hid their king in an underground — or, in other sources, an iron — fortress built with Hephaestus's help, and Orion could not find him. He went on to Crete. Apollodorus's concise version has Oenopion make Orion drunk, blind him as he slept, and cast him on the beach for wooing Merope.
