Hyperion

Titan of the sun. Hyperion was the son of Uranus and Gaea. Hyperion married his sister, the Titaness Theia, and was the father of Helius ("Sun"), Eos ("Dawn"), and Selene ("Moon"). He was sometimes confused with his son, Helius, who was also a sun god.

Like his brothers who fought against Zeus, he was imprisoned in Tartarus.

According to Diodorus Siculus, Hyperion was a mortal consort of Basileia (Theia), who was murdered by his brothers (Titans). See Creation, Cosmogony of Diodorus Siculus.
