This paper introduces the story of "the god of sleep-Hupunos" in Greek mythology.

Hypnos was the third generation god in ancient Greek mythology more than 4,800 years ago. He is the god in charge of sleep, and he is also in charge of happiness and freedom, because those who can sleep well are really happy and comfortable, while those who can't sleep are miserable or dying.

The sleeping god in Greek mythology is a winged god. When he waves his token or flaps his wings, people will fall asleep.

There is also a saying about the image of the sleeping god, who always wears white clothes and holds a poppy in his hand. Anyone swept by poppies can sleep peacefully until dawn. Hypnos has a powerful ability to make people fall asleep, and even Zeus can't escape its power.

In Homer's Iliad, Hera once coerced Hypnos to put Zeus into a complete sleep with her ability, and Hypnos did not dare to disobey. Zeus was very angry when he woke up and ordered Hypnos to enter the depths of heaven, which aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of Hypnos's mother, the night goddess Knicks.
