In Greek mythology, Hyperion was one of the original twelve Titans (the old gods), and the lord of light. His children were Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon), and Eos (the Dawn). It is unclear if the Olympians imprisoned Hyperion in Tartarus along with the other Titans or let him go free.

A crop of the cover of "Candy Land", an ebook by Christy Webster for the company Hasbro. The cover is in a naive art style, showing a colourful road leading up to a castle with frosting for rooftops. A pink character with arms like a candy cane is gesturing at the colourful road. A female character dressed in blue and holding a staff stands some distance behind them by the road. Further down still is a character with a moustache and frosting for a crown, dressed in a style reminiscent of 17th century aristocracy. A tree bearing purple fruit holds up a hand in greeting.

🎨 Winged Scarab (The Met)

Winged ancient Egyptian faience scarab. This winged scarab consists of three pieces: an actual scarab beetle and two separately made wings. The wings are not those of a beetle, but those of a bird, as is apparent by their shape and the indication of individual feathers. Each piece features several small holes that were used to fasten the winged scarab to the wrappings of a mummy. Winged scarabs, meant to guarantee the rebirth of the deceased, were very popular funerary amulets.
