Rosy-Fingered Titan/goddess Eos has a great epithet, but she wasn't such a great lady... She had a habit of pulling a Zeus. The stories of Cephalus and Procris, and Tithonus.

CW/TW far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
