Ophion

（Ὀφὶων,) a Titan, was married to Eurynomie, with whom he shared the supremacy previous to the reign of Cronos and Rhea; but being conquered by the latter, he and Eurynonie were thrown into Oceanus or Tartarus. (Apollon. 1.503, &c.; Tzetz., ad Lyc. 1191.) There are two other mythical beings of the same name. (Ov. Met. 12.245; Claudiain. Rapt. Pros. 3.348.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
