griechische Göttin der Morgenröte
Eos was the ancient Greek goddess of the dawn, who was believed to rise each morning from the edge of the river Oceanus to bring light and disperse darkness across the sky. She is notable in Greek tradition for her numerous romantic relationships with human lovers and for representing a continuity of much older Indo-European religious beliefs about a divine personification of dawn.
