Page "Aurora (mythology)" Paragraph 3

In Roman mythology, Aurora, goddess of the dawn, renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun.

Her parentage was flexible: for Ovid, she could equally be Pallantis, signifying the daughter of Pallas, or the daughter of Hyperion.

She has two siblings, a brother ( Sol, the sun ) and a sister ( Luna, the moon ).

Rarely Roman writers imitated Hesiod and later Greek poets and named Aurora as the mother of the Anemoi ( the Winds ), who were the offspring of Astraeus, the father of the stars.
