MYTHOS
Before the Olympian gods and goddesses had reigned over Mount Olympus, the first supreme beings of Greek mythology were know as the primordial deities. Unlike the more familiar Olympians, these older deities had fewer human-like features as they were instead the personification of abstract concepts. These gods and goddesses represented the fundamental forces and the foundations of the physical world.
One such god was Hypnos, the god of sleep. Many mortals believed that they owed half of their lives to Hypnos, and regarded him as the calm and gentle god who brought them rest when they were in need of it. Born of the goddess of night, Nyx, and the god of darkness, Erebus, Hypnos was perhaps the only the god amongst his siblings to be admired as his siblings were the deities of death, sorrow, revenge, strife, deceit, misery, doom, old age, and mockery.
Hypnos was said to live in a cave in the underworld with his twin brother, Thanatos, the god of death. Through this flowed the river of forgetfulness, Lethe, and outside of the cave grew poppies and other sleep-inducing plants. Hypnos would come to marry the goddess who personified hallucination, Pasithea. Pasithea and Hypnos would go on to have four sons that came to be known as the Oneiroi-- the bringers of dreams. Morpheus, the eldest son and leader of the Oneiroi, was the winged god of dreams and was able to take any human form. Phobetor personified nightmares, and could take the form beasts and other terrifying creatures. Phantasus did not take a material form, but was said to create illusionary and deceptive dreams. Opposite the surreal effect that Phantasus had on dreams, the final brother, Ikelos, created realistic dreams.
Though not well known, Hypnos and his kin had immense power over mortals and immortals alike-- and together possessed both the most dangerous and most desired abilities in Greek mythology: sleep, dreams, fear and death.
