In Greek mythology, Ēōs (; Ionic and Homeric Greek , Attic ''Éōs'', "dawn", or (:héɔːs); Aeolic ''Aúōs'', Doric ''Āṓs'') is a Titaness and the goddess〔Lycophron calls her by an archaic name, ''Tito'' (the Titaness). Kerenyi observes that Tito shares a linguistic origin with Eos's lover Tithonus, which belonged to an older, pre-Greek language. (Kerenyi 1951:199 note 637)〕 of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus. Eos had a brother and a sister, Helios, god of the sun, and Selene, goddess of the moon. ==Etymology== Eos is cognate to Vedic Sanskrit ''Ushas'' and Latin ''Aurora'', both goddesses of dawn, and all three considered derivatives of a PIE stem '' *h₂ewsṓs''〔R. S. P. Beekes, ''Etymological Dictionary of Greek'', Brill, 2009, p. 492.〕 (later *''Ausṓs''), "dawn", a stem that also gave rise to Proto-Germanic '' *Austrō'', Old Germanic '' *Ōstara'' and Old English ''Ēostre''/''Ēastre''. This agreement leads to the reconstruction of a Proto-Indo-European dawn goddess. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「eos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
