Oenopion

Dionysus teaching the art of wine-drinking to his son Oenopion, on an Attic black-figured amphora from Vulci (ca. 540-530 BC) by Exekias

In Greek mythology, Oenopion /ɪˈnoʊpiən/ (Ancient Greek: Οἰνοπίων, Oinopíōn, English translation: "wine drinker", "wine-rich" or "wine face"[1]) was a legendary king of Chios, and was said to have brought winemaking to the island, which was assigned to him by Rhadamanthys.[2]
