Hypnos
This is the Altar to Hypnos, greek god of Sleep
Hypnos is the son of Nyx and Erebos, the personifications/gods of night and darkness respectively, the twin to Thanatos (god of death), married to Pasithea, who is one of the youngest charities and the personification of relaxation and has three kids, Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos (who are sometimes called the Orneroi).
Mythology
In one myth Hera asks Hypnos to put Zeus to sleep so she could raise up a storm to kill Heracles (who was one of Zeus' many illegitamate children) while he was sailing across the Agean. Zeus, however, finds out and nearly thows Hypnos into the sea and is only stopped when Hypnos' mother Nyx steps in. (as told in the illiad).
In another Hera asks for Hypnos' help again, who is hesitant, considering how the last time he did that ended, but Hera eventually convinces him by offering him Pasithea as a wife. (also in the illiad)
In a version of the Endymion myth Hypnos falls in love with Endymion, due to his beautiful eyes, so Hypnos doesn't close them while Endymion sleeps so he can continue to look at them. (Deipnosophistae)
