Eos
Goddess of Dawn, born in Hesiod from the luminous line of Hyperion and Theia.
Overview
Eos is the goddess of Dawn. In Hesiod's Theogony she is born with Helios and Selene from Hyperion and Theia, joining morning light, sun and moon within one Titan line of heavenly brightness. Odyssey 5 opens with Dawn Eos rising from Tithonus and bringing light to immortals and mortals. This keeps Eos both as a genealogical deity and as the poetic sign that an epic day is beginning again, without turning that recurring dawn formula into a separate story event.
