Hesperus

Uncommon card · No. 190228

In Greek mythology, Hesperus (; Ancient Greek: Ἕσπερος, lit. 'evening') is the Evening Star, the planet Venus in the evening. A son of the dawn goddess Eos (Roman Aurora), he is the half-brother of her other son, Phosphorus (also called Eosphorus; the "Morning Star"). Hesperus' Roman equivalent is Vesper (cf. "evening", "supper", "evening star", "west"). By one account, Hesperus' father was the mortal Cephalus, while Phosphorus' father was the star god Astraeus. Other sources, however, state that Hesperus was the brother of Atlas, and thus the son of Iapetus.
