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.
