An engraving of Orion from Johann Bayer's Uranometria, 1603 (US Naval Observatory Library). In Greek mythology, Orion (/ ə ˈ r aɪ ə n /; Ancient Greek: Ὠρίων or Ὠαρίων; Latin: Orion) [1] was a giant huntsman whom Zeus (or perhaps Artemis) placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion.
The hunter Orion married a lovely woman called Side and when she was punished by Hera, he walked to Chios over the Aegean, and Oenopion welcomed him with a banquet. Merope was beloved by Orion but he did not have the approval of Oenopion. Orion got drunk and slept with or assaulted Merope. [3]

Portato is a bowing technique for stringed instruments, [3] in which successive notes are gently re-articulated while being joined under a single continuing bow stroke. It achieves a kind of pulsation or undulation, rather than separating the notes. It has been notated in various ways.
Hephaestus took pity on the blind Orion and gave him his servant Cedalion as a guide. Cedalion guided him east, where the rising sun restored Orion's sight. Orion then decided to kill Oenopion, but the Chians had built the king an underground fortress, and Orion couldn't find him. (Other sources say it was an iron fortress, built by Hephaestus.)
Instructions were made and people built this "pre-piano" which amplifies the signals generated in a pickup from the vibration of stainless steel rods tapered near the steel base they are driven into holes in. Piano type wooden hammers are used to strike them. It was a three octave (E to F for 38 notes) instrument. A tube amplifier drove a ...
