NASHVILLE,TN-Who is this masked man? Does he, in some way, bear a realtionship to the original myth of the hunter Orion? Let us open our copies of Robert Graves� The Greek Myths:

... Others tell the following strange story of Orion�s birth. Hyrieus, a poor bee-keeper, had vowed tp have no children, and he grew old and impotent. When, one day, Zeus and Hermes visited him in disguise, and were hospiably entertained, they enquired what gift he most desired. Sighing deeply, Hyrieus replied that what he most wanted, namely to have a son, was now impossible. The gods, however, instructed him to sacrifice a bull, make water on its hide, and then bury it in his wife�s grave. He did so and, nine months later, a child was born to him, whom he named Uroin — �he who makes water�—and, indeed, both the rising and setting of the constellation Orion bring rain .
