Premise: In Greek mythology, Orthrus (Greek: Ὄρθρος , "Orthros") or Orthus (Greek: Ὄρθος , "Orthos") was, according to the mythographer Apollodorus, a two-headed dog who guarded Geryon's cattle and was killed by Heracles. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and the brother of Cerberus, who was also a multi-headed guard dog.
Hypothesis: Orthus guarded someone.
