The latter was believed to be the gate for the false dreams. The cave had two gates – one made of the buckhorn the other of the ivory – so that they could choose what dreams to send. The myth says that Oneiroi lived at the shores of the Ocean in the West, in the cave close to Hades. Oneiroi, the dream-bearing sons of Hypnos Their sons – Oneiroi (meaning “dreams” in Greek) were: Morpheus, Ikelos, Phobetor, and Phantasos. There were rumors (well, they exist even in mythology!) that Hypnos and Pasithea had even a thousand children, but the most common belief is that they had four sons. Their marriage was a direct result of Hypnos’s blackmail to Hera – in order to do her a very tricky favor regarding the Trojan War, Hypnos asked for Pasithea and Hera had no choice so she offered her to Hypnos. Hypnos was married to the youngest of the Graces – Pasithea (or Pasithee), a deity of hallucination or relaxation, depending on the interpretation. 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.

Hypnos lived in the dark cave, in the Hades (Underworld), whose entrance was full of poppies and other hypnotic plants. In Hesiod’s version though, Hypnos had no father. Hypnos was the son of goddess Nyx (meaning “night”) and Erebus (deep darkness, or shadow). Ikelos: He was the one creating the true dreams, making them more realistic.Phantasus: He was the one creating the fake and illusional dreams, and had no animus form.He was the personification of nightmare, taking the form of huge and scary animals. Phobetor: He was the one who created the scary dreams.Morpheus: The Winged God of Dreams, able to take any human form in dreams.Wife: Pasithea, the deity of hallucinations Hypnos was also the father of another powerful deity – Morpheus, deity of Dreams. 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. In Hesiod’s portray, Hypnos and his brother Thanatos, the god of Death, were both terrible gods and pretty much inseparable in their acts All packages include tracking numbers.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.
