Hyperion (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Hyperion (; (ギリシア語:Ὑπερίων), "The High-One") was one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky or Heaven) who, led by Cronus, overthrew Uranus and were themselves later overthrown by the Olympians. With his sister, the Titaness Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn).〔Morford, (p. 40 ); Keightley, (p. 47 ); Smith, ("Hyperion" ); Hesiod, ''Theogony'' (134 ), (371 ); ''Hymn to Helios'' (31) (4–7 ); Apollodorus, (1.1.3 ); (1.2.2 ) The ''Homeric Hymn to Helios'' calls Hyperion's sister and mate "Euryphaëssa" probably, an epithet of Theia, see Morford, p. 61 and West 2003, note 61 p. 215. Other accounts make Selene the daughter of the Titan Pallas (''Hymn to Hermes'' (4), (99–100 )) or of Helios (Euripides, ''The Phoenician Women'' (175 ff. ); Nonnus, ''Dionysiaca'' (44.191 )).〕
Hyperion's son Helios was referred to in early mythological writings as ''Helios Hyperion'' (, "Sun High-one"). In Homer's ''Odyssey'', Hesiod's ''Theogony'' and the Homeric ''Hymn to Demeter'', the Sun is once in each work called ''Hyperionides'' (, "son of Hyperion"), and Hesiod certainly imagines Hyperion as a separate being in other writings. In later Greek literature, ''Hyperion'' is always distinguished from Helios; the former was ascribed the characteristics of the "God of Watchfulness, Wisdom and the Light", while the latter became the physical incarnation of the Sun. Hyperion is an obscure figure in Greek culture and mythology, mainly appearing in lists of the twelve Titans:
There is little to no reference to Hyperion during the Titanomachy, the epic in which the Olympians battle the ruling Titans.
As the father of Helios, Hyperion was regarded as the "first principle" by Emperor Julian, though his relevance in Julian's notions of theurgy is unknown.
