These siblings of Eris include personifications—like Eris—of several "loathsome" ( στυγερός ) things, such as Moros ("Doom"), Thanatos ("Death"), the Moirai ("Fates"), Nemesis ("Indignation ...
In Hesiod's Theogony, Astraeus and Eos produce the winds—namely Zephyrus, Boreas, and Notus—as well as Eosphorus and the stars. [5] A few sources mention another daughter, Astraea, the goddess of innocence and, occasionally, justice.
