about

Astraios or Astraeus: Father of the Stars
Astraios was one of the Greek Titans, the older gods who ruled before Zeus and the Olympians. His name means “Of the Stars”, and he was the father of the stars and winds. Astrology was one of his specialties, but he was also connected to the seasons and possibly navigation.
Astraios (Roman Astraeus) was the father of all the stars, both the “fixed” stars that moved through the sky together, and the planetes, or “wanderers” who moved about freely: Phainon (Saturn), Phaethon (Jupiter), Pyroeis (Mars), Eosphoros/Hesperos (Venus), and Stilbon (Mercury).He was also considered the god of dusk, when the stars first appear, while his wife Eos appeared at dawn, when the stars set.
Ancient astronomy and astrology set great store the appearance of stars at twilight and dawn, so it makes sense that the deities in charge of them were associated with those times. (The astrological signs, for example, take their dates from when their constellations appeared on the horizon at sunrise).
