Crius in the context of "Pallas (Titan)"

In Greek mythology, the Titans (Ancient Greek: Τιτᾶνες, Tītânes; singular: Τιτάν, Tītā́n) were the deities that preceded the Olympians. According to the Theogony of Hesiod, they were the twelve children of the primordial deities Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). The six male Titans were Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Cronus, and the six female Titans (called the Titanesses; Ancient Greek: Τιτανίδες, Tītānídes; singular: Τιτανίς, Tītānís) were Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys.

After Cronus married his sister Rhea, she bore the first generation of Olympians: the six siblings Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hades, and Hestia. Certain other children of the Titans, such as Prometheus, Atlas, Helios, and Leto, are sometimes also called Titans.

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, Astraeus (/əˈstriːəs/) or Astraios (Ancient Greek: Ἀστραῖος, romanized: Astraîos, lit. 'starry') is the son of Crius and Eurybia, and the consort of Eos. He is said to be the father of the winds.

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 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.

In Greek mythology, Perses (Ancient Greek: Πέρσης, romanized: Pérsēs, lit. 'destroyer') can refer to the following individuals:

• Perses, the son of the Titan Crius and the sea-goddess Eurybia, brother to Astraeus and Pallas. He married his cousin Asteria and became the father of Hecate.
• Perses, the son of the sun-god Helios and the sea-nymph Perse, brother to Aeëtes, Circe and Pasiphaë.
• Perses, the son of Perseus and Andromeda and legendary ancestor of the Persians.
• Perses, the father of Chariclo. He might be one of the others above.
