Phoebe (pronunced "fee-bee") was one of the original Titans, one set of 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 Themis, according to a minority of sources.
