Crius (Krios) Greek A first-generation Titan; son of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth); with Eurybia, a daughter of Pontus and Gaia, the father of Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses. Little is known of Crius other than his role as a father. However, hints in the writings of ancient Greeks suggest that he was a god of leadership and domestic animals and is associated with the ram, or male sheep. Some suggest that Crius became the constellation Aries, the ram.
