In Greek mythology, the Titans (Ancient Greek: Τιτᾶνες Titânes; singular: Titán) were the pre-Olympian gods. [1] According to the Theogony of Hesiod, they were the twelve children of the primordial parents Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth).
In Greek mythology, Eurybia (/ j ʊəˈr ɪ b i ə /; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυβία, Εὐρυβίη, meaning "wide-force" [citation needed]), described as "[having] a heart of flint within her", [1] was the daughter of Pontus and Gaia, [2] consort to the Titan Crius, and mother of Astraeus, Perses, and Pallas. [3]
Early accounts gave her a primal origin, said to be the eldest daughter of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky).

Coeus was an obscure figure, [4] and like most of the Titans he played no active part in Greek mythology—he appears only in lists of Titans [5] —but was primarily important for his descendants. [6] With his sister, "shining" Phoebe, Coeus fathered two daughters, Leto [7] [8] and Asteria. [9]
In Greek mythology, Astraeus (/ ə ˈ s t r iː ə s /) or Astraios (Ancient Greek: Ἀστραῖος, romanized: Astraîos, lit. 'starry' [1]) is an astrological god. Some also associate him with the winds, as he is the father of the four Anemoi (wind deities), by his wife, the dawn-goddess Eos.
