'''Electrona''' was an early [[Greek mythology|Greek goddess]] (of the [[sun]]), who became a daughter of [[Helios]] once myths of [[Classical antiquity]] came along. Her center of worship was at [[Rhodes]], which is also the center of worship of her father, [[Helios]]. She was possibly a [[goddess]] of the morning or man's waking sense, which causes men to wake up in the morning, as her name means "rooster" (''alectrona'' is the feminine genitive of Αλεκτορ, ''alektor'', the [[Greek lexicon|Greek word]] for "rooster"), which would be an appropriate name for a [[solar]] [[goddess]]. Electrona may have also been believed to give men their "morning glory". |
