Aurora was the goddess of the dawning morning in Roman Mythology. The Greeks called her Eos.  She had a brother and a sister, the Sun and the Moon.  Among her many  children, four were the four winds, North, South, East, and West.  Aurora rode in a carriage drawn by four white steeds, shedding light upon the Earth.

She loved all fresh young life, and was the patron of those who rose early in the morning, to hunt or make war.  (To make a living nowadays.) She had a habit of carrying off beautiful youths she became smitten with, and obtaining immortality for them. One of these youths became her husband. However, in requesting immortality for him, Aurora had forgotten to also ask for eternal youth for him, so that as he began to grow old, she did not act the same towards him, though still remaining attentive and loving.  

Aurora was depicted as a spirited maiden, with large wings and clad in robes of dazzling white and purple. A star or cap was on her head, a torch in her hand, and she drove a chariot drawn by four horses, or sometimes rode on Pegasus 

Shakespeare refers to her in his famous play, Romeo and Juliet.
