In the Homer's Odyssey the sun god is called Helios Hyperion, 'Sun High-one'.
In later Greek literature Hyperion is distinguished from Helios as a Titan, the son of Gaea 'Earth' and Uranus 'Sky' and the father of Helios 'Sun', Selene 'Moon' and Eos 'Dawn' by his sister Theia:
- "Theia yielded to Hyperion's love and gave birth
- to great Helios and bright Selene and Eos,
- who brings light to all the mortals of this earth
- and to the immortal gods who rule the wide sky."
- (Hesiod, Theogony, 371-374)
The Titan Hyperion is the subject of Hyperion, an unfinished epic poem by John Keats
