Hyperion is an abandoned epic poem by 19th-century English Romantic poet John Keats, written from late 1818 to the spring of 1819. It is based on the Titanomachy, and tells of the despair of the Titans after their fall to the Olympians. Keats gave up the poem as having "too many Miltonic inversions." He later revisited the themes and ideas in "The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream," attempting to recast it by framing it with a personal quest to find truth and understanding.
