Crius

Κρεῖος

Crius is one of the twelve Titans, the husband of Eurybia and the father of Astraeus, Pallas and Perses.

Crius is the least known of the twelve Titans. He married Eurybia, a daughter of Pontus and Gaia, and their three sons were Astraeus, Pallas and Perses.

Hesiod gives him no personal story. The meaning of his name is uncertain.

The ancient evidence for Crius is limited, so this page is short on purpose.
