Incorrect DAY reference - Pausanias

Posted by ishan on 15 Mar 2017 in Activity log

Pausanias book 1 , 1.3.1 - "Theseus throwing Sciron into the sea and Day carrying away Cephalus."

"DAY" in the above text links to EOS(dawn).While this maybe correct based on the wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemera , need to know if a new person should be created and linked to instead of dawn or kept as is .

Wikipedia entry-

Pausanias seems to confuse her with Eos when saying that she carried Cephalus away. Pausanias makes this identification with Eos upon looking at the tiling of the royal portico in Athens, where the myth of Eos and Kephalos is illustrated. He makes this identification again at Amyklai and at Olympia, upon looking at statues and illustrations where Eos (Hemera) is present.
