Orthrus (, Orthros) veya Orthus (, Orthos), Yunan mitolojisinde, mitograf Apollodorus'a göre, Geryoneus'un sığırlarını koruyan ve Herakles tarafından öldürülen çift başlı bir köpekti.Apollodorus, 2.5.10 . Ehidna ve Tifon canavarlarının ve aynı zamanda çok başlı bir bekçi köpeği olan Kerberos'un erkek kardeşiydi.Hesiod, Theogony 306-312 ; Apollodorus, 2.5.10 . Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica (or Fall of Troy) 6.249 ff. (pp. 272-273) has Cerberus as the offspring of Echidna and Typhon, and Orthrus as his brother. == İsmi == Adı "Orthrus" (Ὄρθρος) veya "Orthus" (Ὄρθος) olarak tasvir edilir. Örneğin, en eski kaynak olan Hesiod bu tazıya "Orthus", Apollodorus ise "Orthrus" adını verir.Hesiod Theogony 293 , 309 , 327 ; Apollodorus, 2.5.10 . For the form of the name used in other sources see West, pp. 248-249 line 293 Ὄρθον; Frazer's note 4 to Apollodorus, 2.5.10 . == 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.Hesiod, Theogony 326-329 . The referent of "she" in line 326 of the Theogony is uncertain, see Clay, p.159, with n. 34 . == Ayrıca bakınız == * Kerberos == Kaynakça == === Dipnotlar === === Genel === * Apollodorus, Apollodorus, The Library, with an English Translation by Sir James George Frazer, F.B.A., F.R.S. in 2 Volumes.
