Hi, my name is Inga. I am
going to tell you about Asteria. Not many people know about her, but she
is pretty important when it comes to Hercules. Her dad was a titan named
Coeus. Her mom was the titan Phoebe. Her sister was Leto. Asteria jumped
into the Aegean Sea, so that she could escape Zeus. When she married Zeus
her baby was Hercules.
Asteria was five different people. She was the goddess of oracles, prophetic
dreams, astrology, and necromancy. She was the sixth amazon killed by
Hercules. She was the mother of Deriades, king of India. She was one of
the Danaids, so with one exception she would murder her husband their
wedding night. She was also one of the Alkyonids. She jumped into the
ocean and was turned into a kingfisher. That's all about Asteria. Bye!
