This article appears in Volume V13, Page 408 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HESPERUS (Gr. "Ea-repor, Lat. Vesper) , the evening
star
 , son or brother of
Atlas
 . According to Diodorus Siculus (iii. 6o, iv. 27), he ascended
Mount
 
Atlas
  to observe the'motions of the stars, and was suddenly swept away by a whirlwind. Ever afterwards he was honoured as a god, and the most brilliant
star
  in the heavens was called by his name. Although as a mythological personality he is regarded as distinct from Phosphoros or Heosphoros (Lat.
Lucifer
 ), the
morning
  star or bringer of
light
 , the son of Astraeus (or Cephalus) and Eos, the two stars were early identified by the Greeks.
Diog. Laert. viii. 1. 14; Cicero, De nat. deorum, ii. 20;
