Eos, daughter of Hyperion and Theia, is the rosy-fingered Dawn. Sister of Helios and Selene, she rises from Oceanus each morning to open the sky for the sun.

Eos consorted with the war god Ares and was thereupon cursed with unsatisfiable sexual desire by the jealous Aphrodite. This caused her to abduct a number of handsome young men, most notably Cephalus, Tithonus, Orion and Cleitus. The good-looking Cleitus was made immortal by her. She also asked for Tithonus to be made immortal, but forgot to ask for eternal youth, which resulted in him living forever as a helpless old man.

Eos had two sons, Memnon and Emathion. Memnon fought among the Trojans in the Trojan War and was slain. After Memnon’s death, Zeus was moved by Eos’ tears and granted him immortality.

What Is Happening Right Now?

The Sunrise That Comes Too Late. In 1454, a caravan on the road north of Thessaly has vanished, though every witness swears it set out just before dawn. At the eastern watchtower, the herald Ismene claims to have seen the same red sunrise twice. A stolen bronze lens is projecting a false first light across the valley; the caravan followed it into an abandoned quarry where brigands wait. The characters must track the real route, recover the lens, and free the captives before the next dawn exposes their position. Eos offers a glimpse of the true horizon, but no rescue without mortal courage.
