Perses (Titan)

Perses (/ˈpɜːrsɪz/; Greek: Πέρσης, "The Destroyer") was the son of the Titan Crius and Eurybia. His name is derived from the Ancient Greek word perthō (πέρθω - "to sack", "to ravage", "to destroy"), the fact of which may have given the impression that Perses was the Titan god of destruction. He was wed to Asteria, his cousin, daughter of Titans Phoebe and Coeus. They had one child noted in mythology, Hecate, honoured by Zeus above all others as the goddess of wilderness, childbirth, witchcraft and magic.
