about

Hypnos is the Greek god of Sleep.

In many artistic works inspired by the Greek Mythology, Hypnos was represented as a gentle young man, usually with wings attached to his temples or shoulders.
In Hesiod’s portray, Hypnos and his brother Thanatos, the god of Death, were both terrible gods and pretty much inseparable in their acts.
Intangible as the sleep is, Hypnos himself could have been both, but in any case he had enormous power over mortals and immortals – including the God of the Gods, Zeus.

Sons:
Morpheus: The Winged God of Dreams, able to take any human form in dreams.
Phobetor: He was the one who created the scary dreams. He was the personification of nightmare, taking the form of huge and scary animals.
Phantasus: He was the one creating the fake and illusional dreams, and had no animus form.
Ikelos: He was the one creating the true dreams, making them more realistic.

Hypnos lived in the dark cave, in the Hades (Underworld), whose entrance was full of poppies and other hypnotic plants. One version suggests that Hypnos lived in the cave under one Greek island, Lemnos, and that through his cave the river of forgetfulness, Lethe, used to flow.
