greek  meaning for dawn
Phosphorus (Greek ÏÏÏÏÏÏÎ¿Ï PhÅsphoros) is the Morning Star, the planet Venus in its morning appearance. ÏÎ±Î¿ÏÏÏÏÎ¿Ï (Phaosphoros) and ÏÎ±ÎµÏÏÏÏÎ¿Ï (Phaesphoros) are forms of the same name in some Greek dialects. Another Greek name for the Morning Star is Heosphoros (Greek á¼ÏÏÏÏÏÎ¿Ï HeÅsphoros), meaning Dawn-Bringer. The form Eosphorus is sometimes met in English, as if from á¼ ÏÏÏÏÏÎ¿Ï (ÄÅsphoros), which is not actually found in Greek literature, but would be the form that á¼ÏÏÏÏÏÎ¿Ï would have in some dialects.
