Hypnos is the personification of sleep in the ancient mythology and a son of Nyx and Erebus. The brother of Thanatos, he is the minor Olympian god of sleep. He has a throne on Olympus made out of clouds. He has three sons: Phobetor, Phantasos and Morpheus, who are all sleep and dream specialists. His Roman counterpart is Somnus or Sopor.
He resided in Erebos, the land of eternal darkness, beyond the gates of the rising sun. From there he rose into the sky each night in the train of his mother Nyx (Night). Hypnos was often paired with his twin brother Thanatos (Peaceful Death), and the Oneiroi (Dreams) were his brothers or sons.
Hypnos was depicted as a young man with wings on his shoulders or brow. His attributes included either a horn of sleep, a poppy-stem, a branch dripping water from the river Lethe (Forgetfulness), or an inverted torch.
