Well, the old Greek married Hyperion (something like the "man in the moon" perhaps) to Theia (which means light).
They got three children: Helios (obviously sun, day and south), Selene (obviously moon, night and north) and Eos, the morning sun (and somehow also the evening sun; so the phases between day and night and somehow East and West)
Helios is noted in various love affairs, the basic model might be 4 women and about 19 children ... possibly inspired by Meton cycle, which takes 6940 days or c. 19 years. But the model might be a little confused, cause possibly various locations had sun cults and "demanded a story"
Selene had only one man, the always sleeping Endymion, who inspired her to 50 daughters.
Eos was the goddess of evolution, so she took more than one man. The first was Astraios, a Titan as herself. Astraios is associated to the stars ...
ASTRAIOS (or Astraeus) was the Titan god of the stars and planets, and the art of astrology. By Eos (the Dawn) he was the father of the seasonal Winds and the Stars. The arrival of these Winds was heralded by the rising of certain constellations. Astraios also had a daughter named Astraia, the goddess of the constellation Virgo.
But Eos left Astraios, and had other loves, Orion, Kephalos, Tithonus. Tithonus got everlasting life, but got weaker from day to day. Kephalos (the "head") was mortal, who opened the problem of the paradoxon, which occured, when a dog, who never failed met a fox, who couldn't be caught. Orion was killed by Artemis (who got a lot of functions of Eos), cause Apollo (the Helios-follower) cheated Artemis, who also loved Orion. So Artemis (also follower of Selene) stayed virgin, but became responsible for pregnancy.
Well, a goddess between day and night.
******************
Well, in the question of the four lights in Tarot, which according Ross ...
Even if a cosmological hierarchy is not intended, another possible interpretation is one of increasing brightness. This is noted by Huck above, and has been noted before by Michael Hurst. The earliest person to use this interpretation was Francesco Piscina (who also seems to have wanted a cosmological scheme). See pages 22-25 of Explaining the Tarot. The anonymous author, in contrast to Piscina, just groups all of these celestial things together as "creatures of God" (p. 63).
... we have, that Martianus da Tortona, translated by Ross, in the description of the god Jupiter ...
JOVE
Jove, who was the King of Athens while antiquity was still rough and wild. For the race of man, there was yet no justice, and man followed savage rites; Jupiter established the first laws. And he instituted matrimony, and banished the abominable feasts on human flesh, and forbade them by strict rigour. He induced the first society and friendship, and taught to men what is most necessary.
He commanded the first temples and altars to the immortal gods to be built, and to venerate them with the highest dignity. And the men asked the gods anything of the good that they desired. And if he deemed it worthy he would himself fulfil what they had prayed for. The inventor of wars, he overcame the Giants, mockers of the gods, and afflicted them with onerous punishment. Therefore on account of his outstanding virtue, the former age venerated him, and he was esteemed by the people as a god. And he was called Good Jove, and temples were dedicated to him, to the perpetual memory of his glory. Thus holding the divine honour, his name was received by posterity in the highest veneration. He is seated on a starry throne, with regal emblems. Four stars appearing above, attend him, while by the right part a splendour of right reason [first light] of the conduct of humanity, in which customs he instructed ingnorant men, the first leaders of the state. At the left that light by which he published the inviolable laws [second light] and he decreed the society which would be cherished by humankind, being guarded by equality. On the lower right side appears a burning star like Mars, [third light] which he lets loose frightfully if scorned, but especially so that the republic may be preserved. How the illustrious example of Jupiter shines for men! Who for the sake of sacred worship happily defeated the blaspheming Giants by war. To the left, a thunderbolt, [fourth light] which at one time he often used to protect his sacred laws against so many lustful and violent men.
According the description we've to expect in the picture organization something like this, a figure with 4 elements in the four corners ...
... just that the central figure is jupiter shown as a man on a throne, and the four elements in the corners "light symbols", somehow likely sun-moon-star-lightning, although this is not clearly said in the text.
Well, this happened before Piscina, even before the Trionfi decks of the later Tarot style.
For the construction of the Michelino deck it has to be observed, that it had 16 cards and Jupiter with this as highest trump had an orientation towards the Nr. 16
.. as it also already appears in the Jupiter square (4x4), in contrast to the Saturn square (3x3), which depends on the use of the Chaldean row ...
Saturn 3x3
Jupiter 4x4
Mars 5x5
Sun 6x6
Venus 7x7
Mercury 8x8
Moon 9x9
... so a rather old construction and context.
In the context of the later Trionfi/Tarot development it has to be observed, that the earlier role of the number 16 (Jupiter plus 4 symbols) was splitted to ..
16 lightning
17 star
18 moon
19 sun
..
21 World
This idea appeared in the times of the group LTarot some years ago during the research about the Michelino deck ... usually Tower was then identified more as a symbol of destruction instead as a fourth light (as what it is likely still identified mostly also nowadays).
... Its not more logic the sequence is: [Magician] - Moon - Sun - Star - [World]?????
The strange Star
