Eos











Eos [Aurora] was the rosy-fingered dawn of Homer. Daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the Sun and Moon, she had many consorts and lovers, and gave birth to [p. 46] numerous offspring. Although the wife of Tithonus, she had amorous ties with Orion, Cepehalus, and Clitus. In art, the goddess appears usually as winged and driving a chariot with two or four horses, or holding the reigns in her hands and preceding the chariot of Helios. [pp. 46-47]
