Phoebe (Titaness)

Phoebe fighting against the Giants with her daughter Asteria on the Gigantomachy Frieze from the [[Pergamon Altar]], Berlin. In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Phoebe ( ; , ) was one of the Titans, the children of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). She is a goddess of intellect and prophecy. With her brother and husband Coeus she had two daughters, Leto and Asteria. She is thus the grandmother of Apollo, Artemis and Hecate.

According to the myth, she was the original owner of the site of the Oracle of Delphi before gifting it to her grandson Apollo. Her name, meaning 'bright', was also given to a number of lunar goddesses like Artemis and later the Roman goddesses Luna and Diana, but Phoebe herself was not actively seen as a moon goddess in her own right in ancient religion or mythology.
