Eos

Saffron-cloaked Eos, goddess of day’s dawning,

in darkness you wake each morn, with rosy fingers

you unbar the gates of heaven. Day-breaker,

day-bringer, well-crowned goddess of first light,

at ocean’s edge you dwell, with gentle hand you drive

your chariot of gold, exultant your heart with pride

and joy in the shining-maned steeds that draw it.

Golden-armed Eos, mother of the four winds,

mother of the dawn-star, mother of the even-star,

glorious is your spirit, beautiful your form,

your arrival inspires awe in all who greet the sun.

I praise your beauty and honor your might.

eos is one of my favorite greek goddesses as well as her siblings selene and helios. i find it tragic that aphrodite cursed her because she consorted with ares although aphrodite is married to hephaestus. to me eos is the one who gives us the first light of day with hemera the personification of day.
