Brief Bio
Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn, is a celestial figure, personifying the rosy-fingered morning. She is a daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister to Helios (the sun) and Selene (the moon).
Eos is renowned for her beauty and her relentless pursuit of love, often falling for and pursuing mortal and immortal men alike. Her beauty and the vibrant hues of the dawn sky are inextricably linked, making her a powerful symbol of the transformative power of the morning.
While often depicted as a benevolent force ushering in the day, her pursuit of love sometimes resulted in tragic consequences for those she sought and along with her, at times, vengeful nature, paint her as one who is to be feared especially if rejected.
