Coeus - Mythology. Greek A first-generation Titan; son of Uranus and Gaia; father, with his sister Phoebe, of Asteria and Leto, who would become the mother of Apollo and Artemis (1). While best known in his role as a parent, Coeus was considered the god of intelligence and thinking. He was also the pillar of heaven around which the constellations evolved and, as such, the keeper of heavenly oracles. With his siblings, Coeus was banished by Zeus, the greatest of the conquering Olympian gods, to Tartarus, the depths of the Underworld.
