		Hyperion was one of the Titans, six sons and six daughters who came from the union of Gaia (earth) and Uranus (sky).
		Hyperion by Thea he fathered Helios, Selene and Eos (god of the sun, moon goddess and personification of the dawn).
		Detecting Hyperion's movement by discoverers and comparing the shifts with the changes in the position of Saturn allowed him to determine that it is a true satellite (and not a distant body only projected on the plane of sight).

	Burning Void Reviews: "Hyperion," Dan Simmons
		Dan Simmons' "Hyperion" is a science fiction "Canterbury Tales," with seven pilgrims telling their stories to each other as they journey to a far-off land together.
		The Poet's past is intimately tied up in the history of Hyperion, while the Teacher cares only about the welfare of his baby daughter.
		In fact, "Hyperion" is so absorbing that when I reached the end of chapter one, at just the 102-page mark (out of 482), I had to stop for a while before moving on to chapter two.

	The Void and the Word: Dan Simmons' Complete Hyperion Cantos
		Both "Hyperion" (1818) and "The Fall of Hyperion" (1819) are ambitious, incomplete attempts to create epic poems around a classical theme: the overthrow of the race of Titans--among them Saturn, Uranus, and the sun god Hyperion--by the gods of ancient Greek mythology (Apollo, Zeus, etc.).
		The narrative opens with the arrival on Hyperion of seven travelers, "pilgrims" chosen by the Hegemony Council and The Church of the Shrike to visit the planet at a critical moment in its, and the Hegemony's, history.
		Hyperion is one of nine Labyrinthine worlds, worlds containing ancient underground labyrinths whose origin and purpose are completely unknown.

		Hyperion's strangeness wasn't evident when the satellite was first identified in 1848.
		What we now call Hyperion may be merely the biggest chunk left over from a massive catastrophic impact that left the satellite a scarred, craggy shadow of its former self.
		Because the chaotic zone surrounding the 4:3 resonance between the orbital periods of Hyperion and Titan is so vast, the chance that the satellite's orbit will ever reach one of the few small islands of stability in the vicinity appears minimal.

	Dan Simmons
		Hyperion is surely in many respects among the most impressive SF novels ever published, despite being only half a story (the conclusion is in the follow-up The Fall of Hyperion).
		The framing sequence follows the progress of seven pilgrims to the planet Hyperion on the eve of interstellar war, nine hundred years in the future.
		And there is a coherent story here, as the mysteries of Hyperion are gradually described and probed, as well as the larger story of the war and the Core, and the nature of the Hegemony, which is held together with its instantaneous farcaster Web.

		Hyperion is the first of a much-heralded two-part work -- including the The Fall of Hyperion--about the last days of a vibrant yet self-destructive galactic civilization of humans called the Hegemony.
		Hyperion reads like Canterbury Tales, with each chapter of the story being told by one of the seven pilgrims on their way to meet a monster of mythic proportions, the Shrike.
		Hyperion is not an independent novel in its own right but the first part of a story that is told in two books.

		Hyperion is close to the size limit where, like a child compacting a snowball, internal pressure due to the moon's own gravity will begin to crush weak materials like ice, closing pore spaces and eventually creating a more nearly spherical shape.

		Hyperion is actually the first book in a series of four (or actually, two series of two), which are all discussed in this page.
		The series is set in a galaxy where humans have spread out among the planets, forming an intergalactic empire, the "Hegemony", which is held together by a system of hyperspace connections between the different planets.
		Rich, brilliant and detailed in their depiction of people, planets and technology, the two stories (Hyperion and Endymion) are easily among the best that SF has to offer.

	Review: Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
		This is the story of seven pilgrims who voyage to that eponymous planet in search of the mysterious Shrike, a supernatural creature that inhabits a region near the Time Tombs, which are artifacts of non-human origin surrounded by anti-entropic fields that preserve them and push them back through time.
		For various reasons the planet Hyperion is not a full fledged member of the Hegemony and thus is not included in the farcaster web, a collection of instant intersteller transfer portals.
		Clearly the events on the planet Hyperion are not irrelevant, but they are not the prime mover of the really important stuff that happens elswhere.

	Interview: A Conversation With Dan Simmons Writers Write -- The IWJ
		The structure of Hyperion is patterned after The Canterbury Tales, with six different traveling pilgrims alternately telling his or her story as the group makes its way across the galaxy to the planet Hyperion to meet a dangerous and mysterious entity known as the Shrike.
		Hyperion mixes several popular subgenres of SF -- space opera, cyberpunk, alternate history and others -- and can serve as a sort of literary survey of the genre for someone who is unfamiliar with SF in general.
		Hyperion could certainly be read by someone without a literary background, but having such a background enables one to get all the inside jokes and references, such as who certain characters were named after.
