Poor old Hyperion. No one has come looking for you.But Hamlet kept yacking on about you so i did. G
The ARM planet on Total A is called Empyrian, not Hyperion. I don't feel proud about knowing this.
The article claims that Hyperion was regarded as the "god of observation" along with Theia as a "goddess of sight". I have not found any reference to this any any book on mythology or Greek religion that I own. I very much doubt that this is true. The Prime Source 22:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Dale
I very much doubt that Theia was ever thought to be a goddess of sight in the ancient world and unless any evidence that this is the case is given then this statement should be removed. The Prime Source 20:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)Dale
I think it has come to the point where this section is no longer necessary. Similar situations has arisen for many other pages on minor Greek deities where there has been some debate over whether a section should be included in the mythology article about fiction, or if this should be moved to the disambiguation page. In most of these cases the editors of the articles have decided to move the fictional references to the disambiguation page to make the article more focused and less cluttered. In this case I see no reason why not to do the same. Here is my reasoning:
I suggest two solutions to solve this problem:

I came to this site looking for Hyperion in post -classical writing: as the piece says now, there is very little to write about Hyperion as a figure in classical myth. But he inspired two long poems by Keats and Hölderlin. That seems to be at least worth mentioning? Worth explaining? 122.162.135.101 ( talk) 15:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Hyperion is related to the Greek root word "hyper", meaning "over", "above", or "excessive". The root word carried itself over into English as a prefix, and is seen in words such as " Hyperbole" (an over-statement), " Hyperactivity" (excessive amounts of energy), and " Hyperventilation" (overbreathing), among many others. This should probably be added to the article, especially because the article gives the impression that Hyperion has no purpose within Greek mythology or otherwise. 24.15.53.225 ( talk) 05:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Just a personal appeal to Wikipedians to please desist from posting useless and uninteresting trivia. The trivia section of this entry is a great example of how the Wikipedia ideal is being tarnished beyond redemption through the inclusion of such irrelevent nonsense. It weakens Wikipedia enormously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.16.85.59 ( talk) 20:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
The fact of the matter is, trivia sections are already a violation of Wikipedia's own rules about original research. That is sufficient reason in itself to delete them on sight. Very little in a trivia section can ever be found in any sort of secondary literature. Ekwos ( talk) 23:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
I just removed the trivia section again for lack of any sources and for being original research. If you want to include the trivia section so badly, at least find reliable secondary sources for everything. Ekwos ( talk) 08:42, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
It should be added that Hyperion's consort was said to be Theia.

The article says "the Sun is once in each work called Hyperionides (περίδής) 'son of Hyperion'" - but the Greek there only says "perides". Has this been misedited, or is there a reason for the mismatch? - DrGaellon ( talk | contribs) 11:51, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: articles not moved. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 20:34, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
– per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The Titan got 199,000 page views in the last 90 days, compared to 28,000 for the Simmons novel, 13,000 for the comic book characters, 9,400 for the moon of Saturn, 7,600 for Hyperion Books, 6,700 for the Keats' poem, 4,700 for Hyperion Power Generation, 3,300 for Hyperion Entertainment, 2,500 for the Hölderlin novel, 2,300 for Hyperion Records, 1,900 for the computer, 350 for Oracle Hyperion, and 220 for the journal. That's 199349/(27863+ 13291+9350+7611+6773+4745+ 3250+2517+2305+1930+351+220+199349), or 71 percent, for the Titan. Kauffner ( talk) 00:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
I should note that I originally made up the list based more on what topics come up when you google Hyperion than on the DAB. Anyway, I've upgraded it, so it is pretty comprehensive now. Kauffner ( talk) 16:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Greetings:
I'm only posting this in the "NEW SECTION" because I don't know how to comment on a WIKIPEDIA subject, and I don't want my entry to accidentally erase and/or interfere with information that's already posted.
I think this is the first time I've ever posted anything at a WIKIPEDIA web site.
So, if I'm doing this incorrectly, I hope someone will let me know.
Until yesterday, Saturday 02 June 2012, I had never heard of "HYPERION".
That was when I watched a 1974 WALT DISNEY movie, "THE ISLAND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD", at the YOU TUBE web site.
In that movie, the airship is named, "HYPERION", and seeing that, piqued my interest in learning more.
WIKIPEDIA will not permit me to include the movie's URL in this post, so you'll have to research it for yourself.
However, here is a hint:
The 1974 WALT DISNEY movie, "THE ISLAND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD", was posted at the YOU TUBE web site on Saturday 19 November 2011 by "CRYOSTATION"
By the way, I truly enjoyed watching that movie, and can highly recommend it for others.
Thank you.

Why does the Epidus bow redirect here if there is no mention of it on the page? I for one become very frustrated when a subject redirects and is not mentioned on the page. Andrew Watts ( talk) 22:26, 2 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.226.55.198 ( talk)

The article says "There is little to no reference to Hyperion during the Titanomachy". If that is the case, what is mentioned about him?

– The titan has more longterm significance, and is the source of the names of most other usages of "Hyperion" including the moon. It also has, by and large, the most pageviews. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 21:19, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

This page currently has several major issues with how citations are rendered on the page, with many duplicate citations that are disconnected from each other, and a large list of references which is largely disconnected from any specific contents within the article.
My proposed solutions to fix these issues (in descending order of my view of their importance) are as follows:
I had attempted to fix most of these issues (although I was running into bugs with nested citations so wasn't able to resolve all of them). However the edit was reverted by @ Paul August:, with an unhelpful comment that these fixes were not an improvement. -- Snorlax Monster 12:35, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
it unclear to readers whether any given note is indicating a source for the presented information, or simply a comment on the textBut I don’t see how it’s unclear when they can clearly see by simply looking at the note.
