Hyperion, Titan of Light

Hyperion. Hyperion was the Titan of light, and also the ruler of the East. When Ouranos was murdered, Hyperion held down his left arm while his brother, Cronus, murdered Ouranos. As a reward, Cronus made him the ruler of the entire east section of the world. Because he was ruler of the east corner of the earth, he took care of the pillar that held up the east part of the sky. As the ruler of the east, he was in charge of the light that came from the east when sunrise came. He married Theia, Titaness of sight. With her, he had three children (possibly four), named Helios, Titan of the sun, Selene, Titaness of the moon, and finally, Eos, goddess of dawn. Because he was the father of the sun and the dawn, they both originate in the east. Some say that he is the father of a fourth Titan, called Titan, who was the Titan of the calendar. He might have been the same as Helios, or possibly Atlas. There are no myths known that are about Hyperion.
