Editing Asteria

ASTERIA was the Titan goddess of falling stars and perhaps of nighttime divinations such as oneiromancy (by dreams) and astrology (by stars). She was the mother of Hekate ([[Hecate]]), goddess of witchcraft, by the Titan [[Perses]].

After the fall of the Titans, [[Zeus]] chased Asteria across the sky but she escaped him by transforming herself into a quail and leaping into the sea to became the island of Delos. Her sister [[Leto]] later gave birth to [[Apollo]] on the isle.

Asteria is depicted in Athenian vase-painting alongside the other Delian gods--Apollon, Artemis and Leto. She is often labelled "Delos".

She is probably the same as Brizo, an obscure Delian goddess who delivered prophetic dreams.
