Hyperion
Properly, the father of the Sun and Moon, but by poets made a
surname of the Sun. Shakespeare makes it a synonym of Apollo. The
proper pronunciation is Hyperion. Thus Ovid—
“Placat equo Persis radiis Hyperione cinctum.”
Fasti, i. 385.
So excellent a king, that was to this
Hyperion to a satyr.
Shakespeare: Hamlet, i. 9.
