⭐ Core Definition: Eurybia (mythology)

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.

👉 Eurybia (mythology) in the context of Astraeus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Astraeus or Astraios (/əˈstrəs/; 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.

Eurybia (mythology) in the context of Pallas (Titan)

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.
