| Eos,
the dawn, sister of Selene, (the Moon), and Helios (the Sun), also called
"Aurora". This started out as a general 'angel' picture, since so many people have asked for angels over the last few years, but the pink and green colours which emerged in the sky prompted me to name her 'Aurora'. The vigilant Aurora opened forth Her purple portals from the ruddy East, Disclosing halls replete with roses. All The stars took flight whilst Lucifer, the last to quit his vigil, gathered that great host And disappeared from his celestial watch. Ovid, Metamorphoses |
