HYPERION

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 200 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HYPERION , in
Greek
 
mythology
 , one of the
Titans
 , son of
Uranus
  and Gaea and father of Helios, the sun-god (
Hesiod
 , Theog. 134, 371; Apollodorus i. i. 2). In the well-known passage in Shakespeare (
Hamlet
 , i. 2: " Hyperion to a satyr," where as in other poets the vowel -i- though really
long
 , is shortened for metrical reasons) Hyperion is used for
Apollo
  as expressive of the
idea
  of beauty. The name is often used as. an epithet of Helios, who is himself sometimes called simply Hyperion. It is explained as (I) he who moves above (tamp-ewe), but the quantity of the vowel is against this; (2) he who is above (brept-wv). Others take it to be a patronymic in form, like Kpoviwv, MoXiwv.
