(), a Titan, a son of Uranus and Ge, and married
to his sister Theia, or Euryphaessa, by whom he became the father of Helios, Selene, and Eos.
(Hes. Th. 134, 371, &c.;
Apollod. 1.1.3, 2.2.) Homer
uses the name in a patronymic sense applied to Helios, so that it is equivalent to Hyperionion
or Hyperionides; and Homer's example is imitated also by other poets. (Hom. Od. 1.8, 12.132, Il.
8.480; Hes. Th. 1011; Ov.
Met. 15.406.) Apolldorus dorus (3.12.5) mentions a son of Priam of the name of
Hyperion.
