Eos- the greek goddess - Dawn!

[Guest guest]

does anyone here WRITE about the greek goddess EOS - the equivalent

of *ushas* (dawn) in greek mythology?

 

EOs was the goddess of dawn, daughter of the Titans, Hyperion and

Theia, and sister of Helios and Selene. She was the mother of the

evening star Eosphorus (Hesperus), other stars, and the winds Boreas,

Zephyrus and Notus. When she was caught in a tryst with Ares,

Aphrodite cursed her with an insatiable desire for handsome young

men. She most often appears winged or in a chariot drawn by four

horses, one of them being Pegasus.

It was so interesting and wonderful to see these stories. It sounds so much

like the Goddess Ushas was seen and was a work within the life times of many

peoples --- as described in the "Odyssey" as "rosy-fingered",

"early-rising",

and "saffron-robed". All peoples have experienced her regardless of their

race, country or time period --- Maa in her many forms throughout time and

space. I hope you find the links enjoyable and a blessing.

 

Jai Maa!!!

Yeshe
