Astraeus in the context of "Perses (mythology)"

In Greek mythology, Pallas (/ˈpæləs/; Ancient Greek: Πάλλας) was, according to Hesiod, the son of the Titans Crius and Eurybia, the brother of Astraeus and Perses, the husband of Styx, and the father of Zelus ("Zeal" or "Emulation"), Nike ("Victory"), Kratos ("Strength" or "Power"), and Bia ("Might" or "Force"). Hyginus says that Pallas, whom he calls "the giant", also fathered with Styx: Scylla, Fontus ("Fountains") and Lacus ("Lakes"). Pallas was sometimes regarded as the Titan god of warcraft and of the springtime campaign season.

In Greek mythology, Hesperus (/ˈhɛspərəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἕσπερος, romanized: Hésperos) is the Evening Star, the planet Venus in the evening. A son of the dawn goddess Eos (Roman Aurora), he is the half-brother of her other son, Phosphorus (also called Eosphorus; the "Morning Star"). Hesperus' Roman equivalent is Vesper (cf. "evening", "supper", "evening star", "west"). By one account, Hesperus' father was Cephalus, a mortal, while Phosphorus was the star god Astraeus. Other sources, however, state that Hesperus was the brother of Atlas, and thus the son of Iapetus.

In Greek mythology, Eurybia (/jʊəˈrɪbiə/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυβία, Εὐρυβίη, meaning "wide-force"), described as "[having] a heart of flint within her", was the daughter of Pontus and Gaia, consort to the Titan Crius, and mother of Astraeus, Perses, and Pallas. An older, relatively minor deity, her role in most mythology is as the ancestor of other gods, and she often plays no role in the mythology.

In Greek mythology, Perses (/ˈpɜːrsiz/ PUR-seez; Ancient Greek: Πέρσης, romanized: Pérsēs, lit. 'destroyer') is the son of the Titan Crius and Eurybia, and thus brother to Astraeus and Pallas. Ancient tradition records very little of Perses other than his marriage and offspring, his role largely being genealogical, existing merely to provide a parentage for other, more important figures.

In ancient Greek religion and myth, the Anemoi (Ancient Greek: Ἄνεμοι, lit. 'Winds') were wind gods who were each ascribed a cardinal direction from which their respective winds came (see Classical compass winds), and were each associated with various nature, seasons and weather conditions. They were the progeny of the goddess of the dawn Eos and her husband, the god of the dusk, Astraeus.

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Astraea (/æˈstriːə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀστραία, romanized: Astraía, lit. 'starry, star-like'), also spelled Astrea or Astria, is a daughter of Astraeus and Eos. She is the virgin goddess of justice, and is closely associated with another Greek justice goddess, Dike, the daughter of Zeus and Themis. Astraea is not to be confused with Asteria, the goddess of the stars and the daughter of Coeus and Phoebe.

In Greek myth, Astraea lived together with humans on earth during the idealistic Golden Age, when people were virtuous and no evil existed in the world. But as the human race became progressively crueler and more corrupt, Astraea decided to abandon humanity forever and live among the stars as the constellation Virgo. The Virgo was associated with a number of Greek goddesses in antiquity.

In Greek mythology, Pallas (/ˈpæləs/; Ancient Greek: masculine Πάλλας, gen. Πάλλαντος and feminine Παλλάς, gen. Παλλάδος) may refer to the following figures:

• Pallas, the son of Megamedes and father of Selene in some versions, perhaps one of the following.
• Pallas (Titan), the son of Crius and Eurybia, brother of Astraeus and Perses, and husband of Styx.
• Pallas (Giant), a son of Uranus and Gaia, killed and flayed by Athena.
• Pallas, daughter of Triton.
• Pallas (son of Lycaon), a teacher of Athena.
• Pallas (son of Pandion), the son of Pandion II, king of Athens, and father of the 50 Pallantides.
• Pallas, the father of Euryalus by Diomede.
• Pallas (son of Evander), a prominent character in the Aeneid.
• Pallas Athena, one of the epithets of the goddess Athena.
