Aurora

Aurora, the Latin name corresponding to the Eôs of Greek Mythology, the goddess of the dawn, was the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and sister of Helios and Selene, and wife of the Titan Astræus, to whom she bore the winds, Argestes, Zephyrus, Boreas, Notus, as well as Hesperus, the morning-star. She was described as rising in the morning from her bed in the ocean, borne along on a chariot drawn by the divine steeds Lampus and Phaëthon, ascending heaven from the river Oceanus, where she lifted with her 'rosy fingers' the curtain of night, and announced the light both to gods and men. Homer frequently describes Aurora as the goddess of day, and the tragic writers identified Aurora with Hemera (the day). She was represented as clothed in a rosy-yellow robe, with a star shining on her forehead, and a torch in her right hand. She carried off several mortal youths of great beauty, among them Orion, Cephalus, and Tithonus.
