Meaning:*
This name derives from the Greek “talôs (τάλως),” meaning “talon, claw.” Talos was a giant man of bronze who protected Europa in Crete from pirates and invaders by circling the island’s shores three times daily while guarding it. In the Cretan dialect, Talos was the equivalent of the Greek Helios, the Sun: the lexicon of Hesychius of Alexandria notes simply “Talos is the Sun.” In Crete, Zeus was worshipped as Zeus Tallaios, “Solar Zeus,” absorbing the earlier god as an epithet in the familiar sequence.
