The version of the myth where Artemis kills Orion because he was having affairs with Eos, the goddess of the dawn, comes from The Odyssey by Homer. It does not say anything about what she did to Eos. She took her anger out on Orion by killing him. Which, in a way, is punishment to Eos because she probably grieved over the loss of her lover (until she found a new one of course).
