↳ Eos
Eos was the personification and titan goddess of dawn. She rose up from the world-river Okeanos at the start of each day to disperse the mists of night and to make way for the sun chariot. She loved the company of men, and had many lovers. The most notable of her children were The Anemoi, the gods of the four winds, and Astraia, the first goddess of justice.

↳ The Children of Nyx
In Hesiod’s Theogony, Nyx, the personification of night, was born of Chaos at the dawn of time, along with five other primordial beings. One of her siblings, Erebos, the personification of darkness, became her consort and together they created Aether and Hemera, respectively the personifications of brightness and day.
On her own, Nyx gave birth to more children: Moros (Destiny), Hypnos and Thanatos (Sleep and Peaceful Death), Momus (Blame), Oizys (Misery), Apate (Deceit), Nemesis (Retribution), Eris (Strife), Philotes (Affection), and Geras (Old Age), as well as the Hesperides (Nymphs of the Evening), the Oneiroi (Dreams), the Moirai (the Fates), and the Keres (female daemons of violent death).
Although her children were mostly scattered around the world, Nyx and the brothers Hypnos and Thanatos were said to inhabit Tartarus, the deepest, darkest part of the underworld. However, Nyx didn’t spend all her time in Tartarus: whenever Hemera arrived, Nyx would leave, ensuring that Day and Night would not occur in the same place at the same time.

_{HADES FELL IN LOVE WITH PERSEPHONE and wanted her as his bride. His brother Zeus consented to the marriage—or at least refused to oppose it. Yet he warned Hades that Demeter would never approve this coupling, for she would not want her daughter spirited off to a sunless world. At Zeus’s suggestion—or with his tacit understanding—Hades resolved to abduct the maiden. Persephone was gathering flowers one day on a plain in Sicily. Hades suddenly appeared, thundering across the plain in his four-horse chariot. The god swooped down upon Persephone, scooped her up with one arm, and literally and figuratively deflowered her—leaving the plain scattered with blossoms of every color. (x)}

“Ganymedes was a handsome, young Trojan prince who was carried off to heaven by Zeus, or his eagle, to be the god’s lover and cup-bearer of the gods. Ganymedes also received a place amongst the stars as the constellation Aquarius, his ambrosial mixing cup became the Krater, and the eagle Aquila. Ganymedes was frequently represented as the god of homosexual love.”

red like blood staining her hands,
dripping down her fingers,
drops falling to the floor-
outside it’s cold and gray-
green-yellow leaves
a deep green field
the grass turns brown as he walks to her-
“one chance” he says,
“one forever”.
red staining her lips,
the seed crunches in her mouth-
she smiles and the grass turns green again-
outside the leaves are falling-
“one queen” she says,
“one forever”.
she takes his hand-
outside it’s white-
summer looks so beautiful
surrounded by death.
