Asterius

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “astḗr (ᾰ̓στήρ) Astērion (Ἀστερίων) Astērios (Ἀστέριος),” meaning “star, aster.” 1) Asteria was the daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe and sister of Leto. According to Hesiod, by Perseus, she had a daughter Hecate. The Titan goddess of nocturnal oracles and falling stars, Asteria, flung herself into the Aegean Sea in the form of a quail to escape Zeus’s advances. 2) In Greek mythology, Astraea / Astrea was the daughter of Zeus and Themis or Eos and Astraeus. She and her mother were both personifications of justice, though Astraea was also associated with innocence and purity.
