  1. It looks like they were brothers and sisters.  See below:

    In Greek mythology the sun was personified as Helios (pronounced /ˈhiliˌɑs/) (Greek: Ἥλιος, Latinized as Helius). Homer often calls him simply Titan or Hyperion, while Hesiod (Theogony 371) and the Homeric Hymn separate him as a son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia (Hesiod) or Euryphaessa (Homeric Hymn) and brother of the goddesses Selene, the moon, and Eos, the dawn. The names of these three were also the common Greek words for sun, moon and dawn.


  2. In most accounts in Greek mythology, Helios (sun), Selene (moon) and Eos (dawn) share the same father, the Titan Hyperion. However, in some accounts Selene (Homeric Hymns to Hermes) and Eos (Ovid's Fasti) are said to be fathered by Pallas, a Titan.

    In most accounts they do have the same father, but not in all.

  3. Thx but do you know if they had the same father?
