The Eos family asteroids have semimajor axis between 2.99 and 3.03 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity between 0.01 and 0.13, and an inclination between 8° and 12°. Currently there are about 480 members known. In geometry, the semi-major axis (also semimajor axis) a applies to ellipses and hyperbolas. ... The astronomical unit (AU or au or a. ... (This page refers to eccitricity in astrodynamics. ... Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees. ...
Eos consorted with Astraeus 1, the son of the Titan Crius 1 and Eurybia 1, daughter of Pontus (Sea) and Gaia (Earth).
Eos also carried off Cephalus 2, the son of Hermes and Herse 2 [see also Envy] or, as some say, the son of Hermes and Creusa 1, daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens, and took him to Syria.
