Há referência à Aurora no Rig Veda (I, 113), no Livro de Job (XXXVIII, 12-13) e na poesia mística Islâmica. Como deusa surge na Grécia antiga com o nome de Eos, personificação do amanhecer. A lenda atribui-lhe Hiperion e Tea como pais. Teria longos cabelos loiros, unhas róseas, asas nos pés. O seu aspecto físico encontra-se no poema 'crepúsculo da manhã' de Charles Baudelaire. Deslocava-se em carruagem purpúrea atrelada a dois cavalos alados (Lampo e Faetante). Os Romanos adoptaram-na como Aurora, deusa da renovação diária. Voava no seu carro para anunciar o novo dia. Era irmã de outros deuses menores: Sol (Hélios) e Lua (Selene). Teve vários maridos (Titono, Céfalo e outros) e filhos (ventos dos quatro quadrantes, Mémnon, etc).
There is a reference to Aurora in the Rig Veda (I, 113), in the Book of Job (XXXVIII, 12-13) and in the Islamic mystical poetry. She emerges as a goddess in ancient Greece, named Eos, the personification of the dawn. According to the legend her parents are Hyperion and Tea. She would have long blonde hair, pinkish nails, and wings on her feet. Her physical description appears in Charles Baudelaire’s poem ‘Dawn’. She travelled in a purple chariot pushed by two winged horses (Lampo and Faetante). The Romans adopted her as Aurora, the goddess of daily renewal. She flew in her chariot to announce the new day. She had other minor siblings, Sun (Helios) and Moon (Selene), several husbands (Tithonus, Cephalus and others), and children (winds from the four quadrants, Memnon, etc.).
