Astraeus
This page is about the Greek deity. For the airline, see Astraeus (airline). For the genus of earthstars, see Astraeus (genus). In Greek mythology, Astraeus (other times spelled Astraeos) is an astrological deity and the Titan-god of the dusk. His original Greek name, Astraios (Αστραιος), translates "dawn of the stars", the time when the stars come out, or simply dusk (lit. "stardawn": astra- meaning "stars"; the -eos portion meaning "dawn"). In Hesiod's Theogony and in the Bibliotheca, Astraeus is a second-generation Titan, descended from Crius and Eurybia. However, Hyginus wrote that he was descended directly from Tartarus and Gaia, and referred to him as one of the Gigantes.
