⭐ Core Definition: Astraeus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Astraeus or Astraios (/əˈstriːəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀστραῖος means "starry") may refer to three various figures:

Astraeus, one of the Titans, son of Eurybia and Crius. He was the father of the four Anemoi by his wife Eos.
Astraeus, son of Silenus and chief of the satyrs who came to join Dionysus in the Indian War.
Astraeus, a Mysian son of Poseidon. In the height of Athena's nocturnal solemnities, he deflowered his sister by mistake and took a ring at the same time from her finger. The next day, understanding the error which he had committed, Astraeus in his grief threw himself headlong into the river Adurus. This was called later on Astraeus after him and afterwards changed into the Caicus, the son of Hermes.

Alcippe, daughter of the God of war Ares and mortal princess Aglaulus.
Alcippe, an Amazon who vowed to remain a virgin. She was killed by Heracles during his ninth labor.

When their father Alcyoneus was slain by Heracles, these girls threw themselves into the sea from Kanastraion, which is the peak of Pellene. They were then transformed into halcyons (kingfishers) by the goddess Amphitrite.
Alcippe, one of the attendants of Helen.
Alcippe, a princess of Pisa, Elis as the daughter of King Oenomaus and thus, sister of Hippodamia. She married Evenus of Aetolia, the son of Ares and Sterope, by whom she bore a daughter Marpessa.
Alcippe, Mysian daughter of Poseidon and sister of Astraeus. She was mistakenly deflowered by her brother who after realizing what he had done, flung himself into the river Adurus which bore his name (Astraeus) after the incident. The river was later on called Caicus, from the son of Hermes and Ocyrrhoe.
