With his sister, the Titanide Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn). • Hyperions son Helios was referred to in early mythological writings as Helios Hyperion (Sun High-one). In Homers Odyssey, Hesiods 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 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. • Of Hyperion we are told that he was the first to understand, by diligent attention and observation, the movement of both the sun and the moon and the other stars, and the seasons as well, in that they are caused by these bodies, and to make these facts known to others; and that for this reason he was called the father of these bodies, since he had begotten, so to speak, the speculation about them and their nature. • There is little to no reference to Hyperion during the Titanomachy, the epic in which the Olympians battle the ruling Titans, or the Gigantomachy, in which Gaia attempts to avenge the Titans by enlisting the aid of the giants that were imprisoned in Tartarus to facilitate the overthrow of the Olympians. • As the father of Helios, Hyperion was regarded as the first principle by Emperor Julian, though his relevance in Julians notions of theurgy is unknown. According to Paul Faure, the name Titan can be found on Linear A written as Tan or Ttan, which represents a single deity rather than a group. • Other scholars believe the word is related to the Greek verb (to stretch), a view Hesiod himself appears to share: But their father Ouranos, who himself begot them, bitterly gave to them to those others, his sons, the name of Titans, the Stretchers, for they stretched out their power outrageously. • In the first generation of twelve Titans, the males were Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius, and Iapetus and the females—the Titanesses—were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis. The second generation of Titans consisted of Hyperions children Eos, Helios, and Selene; Coeuss daughters Leto and Asteria; Iapetuss children Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; Oceanuss daughter Metis; and Crius sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses. • The Greek myths of the Titanomachy fall into a class of similar myths throughout Europe and the Near East concerning a war in heaven, where one generation or group of gods largely opposes the dominant one. Sometimes the elders are supplanted, and sometimes the rebels lose and are either cast out of power entirely or incorporated into the pantheon. • Other examples might include the wars of the Æsir with the Vanir and Jotuns in Scandinavian mythology, the Babylonian epic Enuma Elish, the Hittite Kingship in Heaven narrative, the obscure generational conflict in Ugaritic fragments, and the rebellion of Lucifer in Christianity. The Titanomachy lasted for ten years. TO BE CONTINUED @PERILOUS TIMES PROPHECIES SEASON2 THUS SAYS YAHWEH OF ARMIES THE LIVING GOD OF ALL CREATIONS IN THESE LAST DAYS. -2TIMOTHY 3:1-5.
