Translation Of the Stars ( astraios) ASTRAIOS (Astraeus) was the Titan god of stars and planets and of the art of astrology. By Eos (the Dawn) he was the father of the Stars and the four seasonal Winds. The arrival of these Winds was heralded by the rising of certain constellations. Astraios also had a daughter named Astraia (Astraea) who was the goddess of the constellation Virgo. Astraios' name appears with those of several other Titanes (Titans) in the lists of (Giants) who made war on the gods which suggests he played some role in both the Titan and Giant Wars.
