=== Helios === Hyperion and Helios were both [[sun-god]]s. Early sources sometimes present the two as distinct personages, with Hyperion being the father of Helios, but sometimes they were apparently identified, with "Hyperion" being simply a title of, or another name for, Helios himself.<ref>Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA32 p. 32]; Gantz, p. 30; Tripp, s.v. Hyperion.</ref> Hyperion is Helios' father in [[Homer]]'s ''[[Odyssey]]'', [[Hesiod]]'s ''[[Theogony]]'', and the [[Homeric Hymn]] to [[Demeter]].<ref>Gantz, p. 30; [[Homer]], ''[[Odyssey]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:12.153-12.191 12.176]; [[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0020.tlg001.perseus-eng1:371-403 371–374], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0020.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1003 1011]; ''[[Homeric Hymn]]'' 2 ''to Demeter'', [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0013.tlg002.perseus-eng1:1-39 26], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0013.tlg002.perseus-eng1:40-86 74].</ref> But in the ''[[Iliad]]'' and elsewhere in the ''Odyssey'', Helios is also called "Helios Hyperion" with "Hyperion" here being used either as a patronymic or as an other epithet. In the Homeric epics, and in the ''[[Homeric Hymn]] to [[Apollo]]'', besides being called "Helios", Hyperion is sometimes also called simply "Hyperion".<ref>Gantz, p. 30. Helios called Helios Hyperion: [[Homer]], ''[[Iliad]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001.perseus-eng1:8.469-8.511 8.480], ''[[Odyssey]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:1.1-1.43 1.8], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:12.111-12.152 12.133], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:12.234-12.276 12.263], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:12.327-12.363 346], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:12.364-12.396 374]; called simply Hyperion: [[Homer]], ''[[Iliad]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001.perseus-eng1:19.387 19.398], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg002.perseus-eng1:1.1-1.43 1.24]; ''[[Homeric Hymn]]'' 3 ''to [[Apollo]]'', [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0013.tlg003.perseus-eng1:349-396 369].</ref> In later sources the two sun-gods are distinctly father and son.<ref>Gantz, p. 30; [[Eumelus of Corinth|Eumelus]] [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/eumelus-epic_testimonia_fragments/2003/pb_LCL497.237.xml?rskey=Vk0mWE&result=2 fr. 17 West]; [[Mimnermus]] [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/mimnermus-fragments/1999/pb_LCL258.91.xml?mainRsKey=HG9VvP&result=1&rskey=1b3ute fr. 12 Gerber]; [[Stesichorus]] [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/stesichorus_i-fragments/1991/pb_LCL476.79.xml fr.
