Hyperion
Generation IV · Heavenly light · The Titans
The Titan of the light that fills the sky, 'he who walks above,' counted among the pillars of heaven at the east. With his sister Theia he fathered the three great lamps of the world: Helios the sun, Selene the moon, and Eos the dawn. His name lived on as a title of the sun itself, so that poets sometimes call Helios simply Hyperion.
One of 53 people of The Titans in this archive. Kronos and his kin, who ruled until their own children threw them down.
Line of descent: Chaos → Gaia → Uranus → Hyperion.
