Phoebe was one of the original Titans, the giant sons and daughters of Uranus and Gaia. Traditionally associated with the moon, she was the grandmother of Apollo and Artemis. By Coeus she mothered Leto and Asteria. She received control of the Oracle at Delphi from Thetis, according to a minority of sources.
