HYPNOS was the god of sleep. He resided in Erebos, the land of eternal darkness, beyond the gates of the rising sun. From there he rose into the sky each night in the train of his mother Nyx (Night). Hypnos was often paired with his twin brother Thanatos (Peaceful Death), and the Oneiroi (Dreams) were his brothers or sons.
In this sculpture Hypnos is depicted as a mesmeric mask with a patination reminiscent of classical sculpture.
