oh boy does this one need explaining
uh
well this is Phobetor, Hypnos and Pasithea's next son
to make a somewhat long story short...
Phobetor in Greek mythology was one of the Oneiroi, or dream gods-- the other ones were Morpheus, Phantasos (and sometimes Epiales but not really, he just kinda hung out with them I guess.) Phobetor was another name for Icelos, who was yeah an Oneiroi too, and since Hypnos and Pasi already have an Icelos...
Icy and Pho both are/will be dream gods. (Icy can actually see people's dreams, he's always been able to do that, he just hasn't found it important enough to mention yet.) This is super hard for me to briefly explain, but basically Pho exists purely in a dream state-- his physical body is constantly lethargic, sluggish, and doesn't speak/barely reacts. However, the real Phobetor exists right over his head, a misty nonmaterial being that can't actually be seen or heard unless under special circumstances. I don't feel like getting into that right now. But that's the short, vague answer.
When he speaks, the words physically appear in gold over his head. Think of him like a sandman, or even specifically like Sandy from Rise of the Guardians-- forming images and pictures out of his "sand", Pho operates slightly like that.
