The Titan Goddess Asteria
Asteria is a rather mysterious and unknown goddess who isn’t worshipped often, so I have decided to compile a bit of information about Her!
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Mythos:
Asteria is the titan goddess of falling stars and nighttime divination, such as astrology or oneiromancy (by dreams). She is the daughter of Koios and Pheobe, sister of Leto. She and the titan god Perses are the parents of the goddess Hekate.
She was pursued by Zeus, and to escape him, she, in the form of a quail, launched herself into the sea and became the island of Delos, where her sister Leto later have birth to Artemis and Apollon.
