Orthrus

Orthrus (Grekçe: Ὄρθρος, Orthros) veya Orthus (Grekçe: Ὄρθος, Orthos), Yunan mitolojisinde, mitograf Apollodorus'a göre, Geryoneus'un sığırlarını koruyan ve Herakles tarafından öldürülen çift başlı bir köpekti.[1] Ehidna ve Tifon canavarlarının ve aynı zamanda çok başlı bir bekçi köpeği olan Kerberos'un erkek kardeşiydi.[2]

Yılan kuyruğu olan çift başlı bir Orthrus, Herakles (solda) ve üç gövdeli Geryoneus'un (sağda) ayaklarının dibinde yaralı halde yatıyor.

İsmi

Adı "Orthrus" (Ὄρθρος) veya "Orthus" (Ὄρθος) olarak tasvir edilir. Örneğin, en eski kaynak olan Hesiod bu tazıya "Orthus", Apollodorus ise "Orthrus" adını verir.[3]

Mitoloji

Hesiodos'a göre Orthrus, Sfenks'in ve Nemea aslanının babasıydı, ancak Hesiodos'un anne olarak kastettiği kişinin Orthrus'un annesi Echidna, Kimera veya Keto olup olmadığı belirsizdir.[4]
