Orthros (Ὄρθρος) veya Orthos () Yunan mitolojisinde, mitograf.

Apollodoros'a göre, Geryoneus'un sığırlarını koruyan ve Herakles tarafından öldürülen çift başlı bir köpekti.Apollodorus, 2.5.10 . Yarı kadın yarı yılan Ekhidna ile dev Typhon'un oğlu, çok başlı bir bekçi köpeği olan Kerberos'un ise 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 Orthros (Ὄρθρος) veya Orthos (Ὄρθος) olarak geçer. Örneğin, en eski kaynak olan Hesiodos bu tazıya Orthos, Apollodoros ise Orthros 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 Orthros, 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 .
