Hyperion

Hyperion was Titan of light and the east. He was one of Gaea and Ouranos' 12 Titan childeren. His name means watch from above comming from the greek words hyper and ion. With Kronos and two others he held Ouranos aloft from Gaea while Kronos sliced him to pieces with the scythe given to him by Gaea

Hyperion fathered three childeren, Helios (the sun), Selene (the moon) and Eos (the dawn) although in some stories Helios is Hyperion. The mother of these childeren is also in debate as to wether it is Euryphaessa (a Goddess) or Theia (another Titan).
