☽☾ The Early Lightbringer ☽☾

FINALLY managed to get this drawing of Lady Eos done , and it sure took a lot out of me but I'm glad I got to finish it in her honor <3

This drawing depicts my take on the goddess , titaness & embodiment of dawn , Lady Eos . I gave her flowers in her hair, mainly roses & crocuses, a pitcher with water alluding to dew , and a star of light over her head , connecting to her two sons Lord Eosphorus ( the morning star ) & Lord Hesperos ( the evening star ). I tried to base her wings on Swallows ( at least in shape ) , and her colors are based on the dawn lighting up the night sky, which you can hopefully recognize in the back . I kinda wish I could've added a bit more in terms of jewelry but I'm content with it now , don't want to mess it up . The earrings are based on the sun & the moon , as a nod to her siblings <3

A god to consider: Eos

🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅

One of the lesser known of the second generation of the titans, eos was born of the river Okeanos, rising from it to become the embodiment of dawn. She is the sibling of Helios and Selene, the daughter of Hyperion and Theia. She had a varacious lust for handsome young Greeks, (relatable) a curse laid upon her by Aphrodite. Of her many lovers, including other gods like Orion, it was a human man she ultimatley settled on, the Trojan prince Tithonus. As she fell in love with him, she soon realized he would die a mortal, and made a plea to Zeus to grant him immortality. Zeus, being the trifling bastard he is, granted him immortality, but tricked her by not granting him eternal youth, which she neglected to specify, causing him to ultimatley age until he turned into a grasshopper! Many of her other lovers suffered deaths of various reasons, some at the hands of Artemis, one by Achilles. Although she had bad luck in love, she still rises every morning to this day, searching for another young man to fawn upon…

[fairyboy1111]

A poem for Eos, Helios and Selene

I sing of early-born Eos, whose cloak is of sweet dew

Who runs her rosy-fingered hand trough the sky as the day begins anew

Casting away darkness and dispelling murky gloom

As the choirs of birds sing her praises and flowers get ready to bloom

Soft-winged goddess, mother of the morning star

Shining from among the clouds, smiling at the world from afar

I sing of Helios, crowned in rays, who rides trough the sky pulled by fiery steeds

From his glorious chariot he watches over mankind’s deeds

Those who do evil he punishes with red-hot rage, he burns to smoke and ash their wicked smiles

Those who do good he rewards with a gladdened heart, helping them trough their journeys as he watches over their lives

For he is the golden mirror of justice who makes all reap what they sow

Wether it be for better or for worse

His warm smile charms countless nymph’s hearts and makes trees bear fruit

As the flower-faced Horae hold hands and dance to his lyre’s tune

I sing of bull-horned Selene, nightly queen, decked in stars

She who weaves together days and makes time come to pass

Lover of peace and of tranquil sleep, a friend to dark-haired Nyx and Hypnos of the soothing voice

Morpheus and his train of countless dreams make her silver heart rejoice

Keeper of the late hours and their secrets, a companion to those who feel lost

For even in the darkest of moments she kindly stretches forth her luminous torch

I sing of you three, children of Hyperion and Theia, gods most high

Trough day and night, trough dusk and dawn, I pray that you shed light unto my path

Lucid ministers of Chronos, show me that which flees my sight

Reveal to me the worlds which exist around me and guide me trough the ones within my heart

literally just had the best tarot reading i’ve had in months thanks to my beautiful lady of the dawn, eos. i asked that she guide my hand in shuffling the cards and lo and behold, exactly what i needed to hear fell right into my lap.

i followed a spread i created i like to call “will you ride the bike?” and it’s about getting on the move, recognizing what blocks your path, what lies ahead, and which direction you’re headed.

eos, ironically, pointed me to the west. to banish what no longer serves me and the person i have been creating myself to be that is harmful to myself and others. to cleanse myself, to begin the journey anew. towards the setting sun i ride.

the more i thought about it, the less ironic i knew it was. the sun must set to rise. an end must happen for a beginning to occur, and lady eos knows this best.

i praise her name in gratitude and love!

OO I should definitely redraw this piece as my vision of Lady Eos sometime soon !

Dawn by Luis Ricardo Falero (1883)

[lunarphoria]

✶ more art of Lady Eos ✶

This one was sort of spontaneous, I saw an ai generated image of Lady Eos and decided to redraw it out of spite haha . ( I heavily dislike ai out of obvious reasons, but seeing ai generated images of gods always gets me extra frustrated, especially when it's supposed to show gods that usually get overshadowed quite a bit :') )

The " original's " background made absolutely no sense in my eyes so I basically redid the entire thing . I changed her pose a bit , added more flowers and fixed her dress , as looking at the " og " one gave me a headache /hj . I also fixed the wings and changed them to be those of a swallow, since Lady Eos / other deities associated with dawn & morning is sometimes shown with them . The lighting is a lot more weird looking than I had hoped but oh well .

I associate Eos, the personification of Dawn, with the entire sky.

She's not just there during the early morning hours to announce her brother's arrival and departure. She stays with him all day and then with her sister (Selene) when night comes. Her children are the stars themselves and the winds that push the clouds; I can't imagine her being separated from them all the time.

I loveee their take on Lady Eos !! Her hair is so gorgeous

Eos, titan-goddess of the dawn.

Daughter of Theia and Hyperion.

[hermitslibrary]

orphic hymn to dawn

hear, o goddess, you bring

the light of day to mortals,

resplendent dawn, you blush

throughout the world...

the race of mortal men

delights in you,

no one escapes your sight

as you look down from on high,

when from your eyelids

you shake off sweet sleep...

all blessings that come from work

are your gift.

eos, evelyn de morgan (1895)
