Astraeus

Astraeus

"I didn't know what got into me. At that point, I already hated living, as young as I was. Yet, I knew I didn't want to die yet. It's all a mess, I was just, so scared, you know? Astraeus didn't fully form, but he still protected me. I didn't really know what I wanted, and I still don't know what I want. I'm content; however, that I could still summon him."
― Jiro Miyamae, Persona 3

Astraeus is a Persona from Persona 3.

History

Astraeus or Astraios (/əˈstriːəs/; Greek: Ἀστραῖος "starry") was an astrological deity and the Titan-god of the dusk. Some also associate him with the winds, as he is the father of the four Anemoi (wind deities) in Greek Mythology

According to Hesiod's Theogony and Bibliotheca, Astraeus is a second-generation Titan, descended from Crius and Eurybia. However, Hyginus wrote that he was descended directly from Tartarus and Gaia and referred to him as one of the Gigantes.

Appropriately, as god of the dusk, Astraeus married Eos, goddess of the dawn. Together as nightfall and daybreak they produced many children who are associated with what occurs in the sky during twilight. They had many sons, the four Anemoi ("Winds"): Boreas, Notus, Eurus, and Zephyrus, and the five Astra Planeta ("Wandering Stars", i.e. planets): Phainon (Saturn), Phaethon (Jupiter), Pyroeis (Mars), Eosphoros/Hesperos (Venus), and Stilbon (Mercury). A few sources mention one daughter, Astraea, the goddess of innocence and, sometimes, justice. He is also sometimes associated with Aeolus, the Keeper of the Winds, since winds often swell up around dusk.
