EOS by Evelyn De Morgan (1895)

the Greek goddess Eos, goddess of the dawn and of love, standing on a seashore, surrounded by birds and flowers and pouring water from a jug.

Evelyn De Morgan was an English painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Movement. Her paintings are figural, foregrounding the female body through the use of spiritual, mythological, and allegorical themes. They rely on a range of metaphors (such as light and darkness, transformation, and bondage) to express what several scholars have identified as spiritualist and feminist content.

Eos is exhibited in the Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, South Carolina

Lucifer Meta: Rory - Aurora - Eos

Chloe: Wait, hold on. Uh, what did you say your name was?  Rosy: Rory. Short for "Aurora."  Chloe: Aurora. If I ever had another daughter, that's what I was gonna name her. Both: Aurora.

Early on we knew the character as ‘Iris’, the reason behind that was that when the role was out to be casted it was send out as Iris, Lucifer’s sister not his daughter. The dialogue supported it a lot so all our meta back then were built around that name and it made some sense but anyways!

Moving forward a good six months after the release of season six and the name Aurora was never really hit home for me so I left it to fellow friends who liked to analyse things and moved on. Today I realised that perhaps I was too quick o do so. 

Why is that?

Those familiar with Roman Mythology know that it’s usual a cluster of Greek, Etruscan and yes Roman in origin mythologies. Stories that were blended together and the name Aurora met the same fate. 

If we go back to its origins we find Eos (Ήως) a name that also means ‘dawn’ but who was also a winged Goddess. Well in reality she was a Titan. Titans pre-existed the Olympian Gods and their offsprings. If you are only familiar with Titans through Disney’s ‘Hercules’ then I would like to say that Zeus was actually the son of a Titan, ‘Kronos’. Basically she was Zeus’ great-great-aunt with one more great being also possibly applicable. No idea why some called her daughter of Zeus but with so many tales, who knows she might have been in some of them.  So the world before the Olympians and their of springs had to be explained and sure enough there were Gods that pre-existed in the entities of Titans. One of them was Eos, the Goddess of the Dawn (and Love - Eros).

At this point let’s remember that the possibility to change deities also happened in Lucifer as well. God was succeeded by Lucifer and then Lucifer by Amenadiel. 

Known for her chariot, white wings and reddish clothes she became part of many legends and tales that usually included her unstoppable lust over males. Yeah so this part was not really something that happened with Rory but it fits Lucifer and Rory in general. 

Another interesting fact is that Eos was also the mother of Phosphorus (Φώσφορος) or as I like it best Eosphorus (Εωσφόρος) which means of course ‘The Lightbringer’ aka in Latin, Lucifer.  So there was a familial relationship between Eos/Aurora and Eosphorus/Lucifer for a very long time before it appeared on our screens. One that had the lovely epithet 'light-bringing' (see φαινόλις)...

In addition to all the above the deity it represented in many cases also was the one who opened the Gates of Heaven. Yes, Heaven was personified as well back then but in a meta attempt why not connect it to what Rory achieved and that is to open the Gates of Heaven for everyone through Lucifer’s decision to go to Hell and aid the damned souls?

Now perhaps that is but a random trivia or a meta, take it as you like but the depictions of Eos were always as a red figure as ancient Greek vases and vessels were using black or/and reddish hues. For me despite the accounts of Eos wings being white, I think I like Evelyn De Morgan’s Eos (1895) painting most.  I wonder why...

Personification of the Dawn

[tournevole]

Eos est la déesse titan grecque de l'aube qui était honorée à la naissance de chaque nouveau jour. En plus d'être la personnification de l'aube, elle représente également la jeunesse, l'espoir, l'éveil et les nouveaux départs.
