泰坦科厄斯

科厄斯是第一代泰坦巨人,是泰坦巨人的六个儿子之一。 乌拉诺斯 (科厄斯的兄弟分别是克洛诺斯(Cronus)、克利俄斯(Crius)、海伯利安(Hyperion)、伊阿佩图斯(Iapetus)和奥林匹斯(Oceanus)。 科厄斯还有六个姐妹,分别是瑞亚(Rhea)、涅摩西涅(Mnemosyne)、特提斯(Tethys)、忒伊亚(Theia)、忒弥斯(Themis)和菲比(Phoebe)。

科厄斯与乌拉诺斯的阉割

当泰坦在盖亚的怂恿下推翻他们的父亲时,科厄斯开始崭露头角。 当乌拉诺斯从天而降与他的妻子科厄斯交配时,希柏里翁、 Iapetus 克洛诺斯用金刚镰刀阉割了他们的父亲。

科厄斯压住乌拉诺斯的地方被认为是地球的北角,因此科厄斯被视为北方之柱;希伯里翁在西方,伊阿佩托斯在东方,克里乌斯在南方)。

随后,克洛诺斯领导下的泰坦统治了宇宙,这一时期被称为希腊神话的黄金时代。

科厄斯 希腊智慧之神

科厄斯的名字可以翻译为 "提问",因此,泰坦被视为希腊的智慧和好奇之神。 科厄斯与预言之神菲比合作,将所有知识带到宇宙中。

北柱科厄斯

除了被认为是北柱之外,Coeus 还是天体围绕其旋转的天轴的化身。 这个点被称为 Polos,是 Coeus 的另一个名字,在古代以天龙座中的 Alpha Dra 星为标志,这颗星在 5000 年前曾一度是北极星。

这种与天的联系表明,科厄斯可能与天上的神谕有关,就像他的妻子菲比与地上的神谕有关一样,尤其是在德尔斐。

科厄斯与泰坦之战

泰坦的统治在泰坦之战中终结,据说当时科厄斯与他的兄弟们一起对抗宙斯和他的盟友。 宙斯当然取得了战争的胜利,作为惩罚,宙斯将科厄斯和其他许多泰坦扔进了冥界的监狱--塔尔塔罗斯。

一个晚期神话出现在 Argonautica (瓦莱里乌斯-弗拉库斯)讲述了科厄斯试图逃离地狱之渊的故事,泰坦甚至设法挣脱了金刚镣铐。 但还没等他走远,地狱犬和勒拿九头蛇就再次抓住了他。

Coeus 和 Phoebe

据说科厄斯是两个女儿莱托(Leto)和阿斯特丽娅(Asteria)的父亲,可能还有一个儿子莱兰托斯(Lelantos),他们都是科厄斯的妻子所生、 菲比 因此,通过莱托,科厄斯是阿波罗和阿尔忒弥斯的祖父,通过阿斯特里亚,他也是赫卡特的祖父。
