Hesperis (mythology)
(Redirected from Hesperius)
In Greek mythology, Hesperis (Ancient Greek: Ἑσπερίς Hesperís means 'evening')[1] was (according to one account) the daughter of Hesperus, and the mother of the Hesperides by Atlas.[2][3]
The Roman mythographer Hyginus, in his Fabulae, also mentions an Hesperis among the names of the Horae.[4]
