HYPNOSAlso known as HYPNUS
Soporific deity in charge of slumber
HYPNOS is the God of Sleep, which he induces with purest opium smoked through a horn. Potentially also the God of Hyppies.
He could also be the god of comas and dangerous addictions, for he works with his deadly brother THANATOS, the God of Death, for HADES Underworld Operations Inc.Fortunately, he has recently found a better use for his talents and gave his name to Hypnosis, the mesmerizing modern miracle of psycho-physiological somnambulism. You are feeling sleepy... Sleeeeepy.
He has three sleepy sons, most famous of which is probably MORPHEUS. zzzz

We are often asked about merchandise. Can we supply the latest Hypnos graphic novel, book or comic? Not to mention role-playing games (RPG), video games, Hypnos movies on DVD, BluRay and so on. To purchase such goodies we suggest you search for a dedicated mythology-based online store - or try Amazon, Ebay or other reputable websites. We offer a wide range of our own merchandise in our online GodShop, but we don't currently sell third party items. Yet!
