Aurora's prototype was #Hausōs, the goddess of dawn in the original Indo-European language family. It has the same origins as the Greek goddess #Eos, the Indian dawn goddess #Ushas, and the Nordic dawn goddess #Ostara.

Morning light represents the fading of darkness and the coming of light, so Aurora is also a goddess of hope full of hope, and hope.

Aurora, the goddess in charge of dawn and dawn in Roman mythology and Nordic mythology, the Greek meaning of Aurora is the first light that turns night into day! In Nordic mythology, Aurora is the youngest daughter of the god king Odin,...

and one of the female warriors who chose to call the brave warrior undead, whose identity is equivalent to that of #Eos in Greek mythology. She is said to be in third place, her brother is Sun #Helios, and her sister is #Luna #Selene.

Aurora is a name in the Latin family, but it is not common in Northern Europe, so Aurora is not so much the goddess of northern Europe as the relationship with Eros the dawn goddess in Greek mythology.

The myth story became popular in northern Europe and a new version was produced. There is no such goddess in the retained Nordic myth "Ada Poetic Style". Therefore, she is very likely to be a descendant, and does not exist in the Nordic genealogy.

Latin describes Aurora, as seen in the books of the early Romans #Seneca, and the early Latin Aurora had nothing to do with "Aurora".

Until 1619, the Italian scientist #Galileo coined the term "Aurora" in the name of Aurora, the goddess of dawn in ancient Roman mythology, and kept using it. That's why "Aurora" was associated with Aurora, and in Roman mythology she had no relationship with Aurora. #worthknowing
