Hecate, daughter of Asteria and Perses, was a powerful but mysterious goddess usually associated with magic, witchcraft, and the Underworld. Though often an object of dread, Hecate was sometimes seen as a kind goddess and a protector of justice.

Asteria, wife of Perses and mother of Hecate, was a Titan associated with celestial bodies. Relentlessly pursued by Zeus and Poseidon, she transformed into a quail and ultimately an island to escape their unwanted advances.

Perses was the son of the Titan Crius and his wife Eurybia and was often numbered among the Titans himself. He married Asteria, another second-generation Titan, with whom he fathered Hecate, a goddess of witchcraft.
