Eos is the Titaness of the dawn, dew and frost. She is a Titan of the second-generation, the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of Helios and Selene. Eos rides in a golden chariot drawn by pegasi.
Her Roman counterpart is Aurora. Eos was born to Hyperion and Theia. She remained neutral in the First Titan War , and, as such, she was among the few Titans who were not banished to Tartarus. Eos rose up into the sky from the world-encircling River Oceanus at the start of each day, and with her rays of light dispersed the mists of night. She was said to open the gates of heaven for her brother Helios , so that he could pass with the Sun Chariot.

As her brother was faded, it is possible that Eos currently opens the gates for Apollo. Aphrodite placed a curse upon Eos because she had slept with Ares. This curse filled her heart with constant passion, causing her to fall in love with a train of handsome men. Her lovers included her husband Astraios Titan of Dusk , the Gigantes , Orion , Kephalos, and the Trojan prince Tithonos, three of which she ravished away to distant lands.
Tithonos became her official consort. When she petitioned Zeus to make Tithonos immortal, Eos forgot to request eternal youth. In time he shriveled up by old age and transformed into a grasshopper. When Memnon was slain by Achilles , she was said to have shed tears of dew.

Although Eos doesn't formally appear, she is referred to by Percy Jackson when he calls five o'clock in the morning "an ungodly hour, unless you're the goddess of dawn". Eos is described by the poets as a perfectly beautiful maiden with rosy arms and fingers, and large wings, whose plumage is of an ever-changing hue; she bears a star on her forehead, and a torch in her hand.
