We are the children of Hyperion
That light of the heavens
Born of Gaea, our divine mother the sacred earth
And Ouranos, our divine father the starry sky
We are the children of Theia
That Titan that sees all and allows us to see
Born of Gaea, our divine mother and giver of gifts
And Ouranos, our divine father the heavens above
Helios
Resplendant lord of the Winter Solstice
Selene
Silver gowned lady of the moon
Eos
Bedecked in shades of gold, violet, and indigo at the dawn
The divine Hyperionides
Who from the East ride forth
Into the heavens above
To bring light and color to the world once dark
The gifts of their parents
They who measure the days
And the months of the year
Art: Nicolas Poussin, French, 1594-1665

"When Mene [#Selene], full with grey fire, gilds with her face the gleaming heaven: not when, sharpening her pointed horns, she first shines, rising in the shadowless dusk of the month, but when, orbing the round radiance of her eye, she draws to herself the reflected rays of the sun."
Tryphiodorus, The Taking of Ilias 514

"Rising from the distant east, the Lady Selene, Titanian goddess, saw the girl [#Medea] wandering distraught, and in wicked glee said to herself: So I am not the only one to go astray for love, I that burn for beautiful Endymion and seek him in the Latmian cave."
Seneca, Phaedra 742
