M Y T H S: Asteria

Asteria was a name given to a number of different beings in Greek mythology. As a deity, however, the name refers to a Titan goddess, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe and sister of Leto. She was married to the Titan Perses, and had a daughter, Hecate. Asteria was the goddess of nocturnal oracles and shooting stars. Zeus pursued her, but Asteria instead turned into a quail and fell into the Aegean to escape. As a result, she transformed into Ortygia, the quail island, which was later linked to the island of Delos. [x]

(n.s.)                 a patchwork of dreamlike dimensions, this mind of mine.                                  delirious with stars and soft melancholy;                                                             tender with music and tales of woe.
