Hyperion

Titan of heavenly light, whose Greek name (Ὑπερίων, from ὑπέρ + εἶμι) gives the sense of one who travels above. With his sister Theia he fathered the three lights of the sky in Hesiod's order — Helios the Sun, Selene the Moon, and Eos the rosy-fingered Dawn — and his epithet often passes by metonymy to Helios himself, whom Homer regularly calls Hyperion or son-of-Hyperion in the *Odyssey*.
