Which underrated Greek deities do you wish more people knew about ?

While they obviously don't have many myths like the major Olympian gods, here's a few I think about not unoften:

Psamathe - A tragic Nereid who shares a more than few parallels with her well known sister Thetis.

Astraea - Most of her lore comes from Rome I think... but it's still pretty cool lore.

Zephyrus - Actually fairly well known, but he's only known as the villain in the Hyacinthus myth when there's way more to him than that.

Nerites - Prettyboy lover of Aphrodite OR Poseidon, I like to merge the 2 myths and consider him the lover of both though. Not that obscure anymore but I particularly like the myth where he & Poseidon have Anteros together.

Mnemosyne - Most underrated immortal lover of Zeus. Doesn't feature in many myths but her daughters are the muses who are all cool, and the story of how her daughters were conceived is a bit funny.

Delphin - Dolphin god. Poseidon's wingman who convinced Amphitrite to marry him.

Thalassa - Primordial Sea Goddess. I consider her Aphrodite's mother... and Delphin's... she's called the mother of fishes idk...

Perses & Asteria - Hekate's parents. I can't think of anything relevant Perses did except father Hekate but the way Hesiod describes his love for Asteria is described is so sweet. Asteria's story of being forced to give up her body to avoid being assaulted by Zeus & Poseidon is tragic, but her resilience is admirable.

The Horae (Dike, Eunomia, & Eirene) - Zeus & Themis's eldest set of triplets. There aren't really myths that feature them and are rather only mentioned in passing, but they're technically Zeus's firstborns out of his several hundreds of kids so I think they're kinda unique for that.

Fuck it, I'm not gonna pretend anymore.

The rawest, most metal 'Apollo as a father' story is the one where he dooms a whole town to a child-killing plague after sheepdogs tear apart his son because his lover, Psamathe, had an abusive father, Krotopus, who would've never let her keep the child.

In a bid to keep the child safe, Psamathe exposes the babe (that is, leaves him outside in the wild without any protection; think Atalanta) and shepherds take him in and raise him as their own until his untimely Actaeon-esque death. Psamathe, hearing that her son died in such a gruesome manner, is near inconsolable and her grief cues her father onto the fact that Linus (the boy's name) was Psamathe's child all along whereupon her father sentences her to death for harlotry and lying about Apollo.

Apollo, evidently, was not very fond of that.

The alternative version of this story is even more metal because it's Krotopus' own dogs who find and tear apart Linus as an infant leading to Apollo immediately sending Poine to personally take babies from their mothers and kill them until the people made amends. Argonian Coroebus rose up and slew Poine to free the people of her curse but Apollo simply retaliated by personally plaguing Argo then and refusing to lift the curse until Linus was properly buried and his spirit was soothed.

In both versions, the dead is eventually quelled but in the version where Krotopus kills Psamathe, the plague rages on until the king himself gets an oracle where he's ordered to leave Argo forever and found a new city to live out the rest of his days. Coroebus, in his version, had to travel to Delphi to find out what his punishment would be for slaying Poine.
