Hyperion (The One Above) Greek One of the Titans; son of Uranus and Gaia; father with Theia of Helios, Selene, and Eos (the Sun, the Moon, and Dawn). Hyperion is sometimes used as the name for the Sun itself. Earlier mythologies name Helios as the Sun. In some accounts, Hyperion, like Helios, is identified with Apollo. See also Eurylochus and Odysseus.
