Hyperion
Greek light deity
Hyperion is a Titan of Greek mythology, father of the sun god Helios, the moon goddess Selene, and the dawn goddess Eos.
The name means "he who goes above" and is associated with light and celestial observation.
Hyperion appears in literature as a symbol of fallen greatness—Keats wrote an unfinished epic about him.
The name has been borrowed for moons, spacecraft, and fictional works, typically evoking cosmic scale or ancient power.
