Asteria, the daughter of the Titan Coeus and Phoebe, is the Titan goddess of the oracles and prophecies of night, including prophetic dreams, the reading of the stars (astrology), and necromancy.
She is the mother of the goddess Hekate by Perses (the Destroyer).
After the fall of the Titanes, Asteria was pursued by the god Zeus.
She fled his advances, transforming herself into a quail (ortux) and leaping into the sea (or the island which had fallen from heaven like a star), afterwards called Delos.
Her sister Leto later sought refuge on the isle and there gave birth to her son Apollon.
Asteria appears in Athenian vase-painting alongside the other Delian gods--Apollon, Artemis and Leto.
She is often labelled as "Delos."
