Hyperion (Titan)
In Greek mythology, Hyperion (; grc-gre, Ὑπερίων, 'he who goes before') was one of the twelve Titan (mythology), Titan children of Gaia (the Earth) and Uranus (mythology), Uranus (the Sky). With his sister, the Titaness Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon) and Eos (the Dawn). Hyperion was, along with his son Helios, a personification of the sun, with the two sometimes identified. John Keats's abandoned epic poem Hyperion (poem), ''Hyperion'' is among the literary works that feature the figure. Etymology "Hyperion" means "he that walks on high" or simply "the god above", often joined with "Helios". There is a possible attestation of his name in Linear B (Mycenaean Greek) in the lacunose form '']pe-rjo-['' (Linear B: ]-[), found on the Knossos, KN E 842 tablet (reconstructed ''[u]-pe-rjo-[ne]'') though it has been suggested that the name actually reads "Apollo" (''[a]-pe-rjo-[ne]'').

Hyperion (Marilyn Crispell, Peter Brötzmann And Hamid Drake Album)
''Hyperion'' is an album by American jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell, German multi-reedist Peter Brötzmann and drummer Hamid Drake, which was recorded live in 1992 during the Toronto Jazz Festival and released on the Music & Arts label. The trio had only played once before, a night earlier on Vancouver.Original Liner Notes by John Corbett Reception In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The music often proceeds at a deliberate pace and sometimes utilizes a dramatic use of space, but the playing is consistently intense (particularly Brötzmann's screaming horns) before ending rather inconclusively." ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' compares the album with '' Cascades'' and says that "The trio with Peter Brötzmann and Hamid Drake is, predictably, more intense and frenetic, though the saxophonist does also have his delicately lyrical side, and he defers at moments during 'Hyperion I' to Crispell's desire to take the music down a more expressive path."

Hyperion, California
Hyperion is a former settlement in Los Angeles County, California. Hyperion was a stop on the Pacific Electric Redondo Beach via Playa del Rey Line that lay at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m). Hyperion still appeared on USGS maps as of 1934. Hyperion Pier at this location existed from before 1912 to after 1937. The pier may have been the site of the outfall sewer into the ocean, the pier seemingly carried a redwood pipe "out to a submerged end." According to an interview with one sanitation engineer, it was a "five-foot wooden pipe made just like a barrel, only straight strips. The reason I know this, a guy came down from Oregon representing the wood industry, and he wanted a piece of that pipe. He got permission from the city of Los Angeles to go up to the top and saw out a little piece. And they wanted to show how long a piece of wood would stand sewage infiltration."SENIOR OPERATOR AT THE HYPERION TREATMENT PLANT James Howe Van Norman Interviewed by Andrew D. Basiago Completed ...
