He is often seen holding a horn of opium, which produces sleep, a branch that is dripping water that comes from the Lethe or an inverted torch.Hypnos is sometimes called Somnus or Hypnus. In works of art, Hypnos is depicted as a young man who has wings on either his shoulders or brow. Before the dreams could be sent, Hypnos had to put the person to sleep. The son of Nyx and Erebus, twin brother of Thanatos, husband of Pasithea, and the father of the Oneiroi. One of the doors was made of ivory and the other was made of buckthorn. ( Greek mythology) The god and personification of sleep. For Poseidon’s giant and nymph consorts refer to ADDucation’s Mega list of Greek gods and goddesses. Their cave had two doors which would send people their dreams. Halie / Halia (sea-goddess, daughter of Thalassa) Helle3 / Athamantis (mortal deified as sea-goddess) Keroessa / Ceroessa (daughter of Zeus and Io) Nerites (lover, sea god). The Oneiroi live in a cave that was near the Ocean of the West. Hypnos and Pasithea, had three sons, Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos who were called Oneiroi (the dreams). Zeus never realized that Hypnos had put him to sleep a second time. Hypnos then went to Poseidon (god of the sea) and told him he could help the Greeks win the Trojan War. Zeus agreed and when he hugged Hera Hypnos put him to sleep. Hera also had a charm given to her by Aphrodite (the goddess of love). Hera then dressed up beautifully and went to Zeus to ask his permission to go to her parents and stop them from arguing.
Hypnos made Hera swear an oath by the river Styx before he would help her. The second time Hypnos put Zeus to sleep it was because Hera promised him he could have Pasithea as his wife. When Zeus woke up and found out what had happened, he tried to find Hypnos, but could not because Hypnos was hiding with his mother, Nyx.
The first time Hypnos put Zeus to sleep it was to avenge the ransacking of the city of Troy by Zeus’ son, Heracles. Hypnos was asked twice by Hera (the goddess of love and marriage who is married to her brother, Zeus), to put Zeus to sleep.
