Crius or simply "Crio" is the Ancient and Titan God of the Constellations, Cosmos and Star Cycles in Greek Mythology. He was the son of Uranus and Gaia. Learn more about this deity below.
Crius, in Greek Mythology, is one of the twelve classic titans of the Hesiodic tradition, the son of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven). From the Greek, his name means "sheep". Closely related to the constellation Aries (sheep), Crios was the primordial god of the constellations and his function in the Greek cosmogony was to organize the stellar cycles. His wife was Euribia, goddess who personified dominion over the seas, born from the union of Gaia and Points, and their children were Palas (god of warrior crafts), Perses (god of destruction) and Astreus (god of stars and stars).
This united with Eos (goddess of dawn) and generated the stars, the four winds and the planets known in antiquity: Phaínôn (Saturn), Phaéthôn (Jupiter), Pyroeís (Mars), Stilbôn (Mercury) and Eôsphoros-Hesperos (Venus). Crios was part of Cronos' party in Titanomaquia and was thrown into Tartarus after his defeat by the Olympian gods.
However, according to what several later mythical traditions preach, Zeus, once reconciled with his father, freed the Titans from their shackles and allowed them to finally resume their divine functions in the universal order.
