About: Astraeus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Astraeus or Astraios (/əˈstriːəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀστραῖος means "starry") may refer to three various figures: * Astraeus, one of the Titans, son of Eurybia and Crius. He was the father of the four Anemoi by his wife Eos. * Astraeus, son of Silenus and chief of the satyrs who came to join Dionysus in the Indian War. * Astraeus, a Mysian son of Poseidon. In the height of Athena's nocturnal solemnities, he deflowered his sister by mistake and took a ring at the same time from her finger. The next day, understanding the error which he had committed, Astraeus in his grief threw himself headlong into the river . This was called later on Astraeus after him and afterwards changed into the Caicus, the son of Hermes.
