HYPERION

a Titan, a son of Uranus and Ge, and married to his sister Theia, or Euryphaessa, by whom he became the father of Helios, Selene, and Eos. (Theogony of Hesiod 134, 371) Homer uses the name in a patronymic sense applied to Helios, so that it is equivalent to Hyperionion or Hyperionides and Homer's example is imitated also by other poets. ( Theogony of Hesiod - 1011, Ovid Metamorphoses xv.) Apollodorus mentions a son of Priam of the name of Hyperion.
