thumb|"Nestor Appearing in a Dream to Agamemnon" (1805) by Henry Fuseli
In Greek mythology, dreams were sometimes personified as Oneiros () or Oneiroi (). In the Iliad of Homer, Zeus sends an Oneiros to appear to Agamemnon in a dream, while in Hesiod's Theogony, the Oneiroi are the sons of Nyx (Night), and brothers of Hypnos (Sleep).
