tänka sig att man kan ha så betydelsefulla människor omkring sig, utan att veta om det. inatt så hittade jag min gryning, nu kanske jag kan sova lugnt!
As the dawn goddess, Eos with "rosy fingers"
opened the gates of heaven so that Apollo
could ride his chariot across the sky every day.
In Homer, her saffron-coloredrobe is embroidered
or woven with flowers; rosy-fingered and with
golden arms, she is pictured on Attic vases as a
supernaturally beautiful woman, crowned with
a tiara and with the large white-feathered wings of a bird.
From The Iliad:
Now when Dawn in robe of saffron was hastening from the streams of Okeanos, to bring light to mortals and immortals, Thetis reached the ships with the armor that the god had given her.
-Iliad xix.1
