And to Cronus and Philyra was born Chiron, a centaur of double form; It is said that Cronus assumed the shape of a horse when he consorted with Philyra, and that, we are told, was why Chiron was born a centaur, half-man, half-horse. See Scholiast on Ap. Rhod., Argon. i.554 . and to Dawn and Astraeus were born winds and stars; As to the offspring of Dawn and Astraeus, see Hes. Th. 378ff. to Perses and Asteria was born Hecate; As to this parentage of Hecate, see Hes. Th. 409ff. But the ancients were not agreed on the subject. See the Scholiast on Ap. Rhod., Argon. iii.467 . He tells us that according to the Orphic hymns, Hecate was a daughter of Deo; according to Bacchylides, a daughter of Night; according to Musaeus, a daughter of Zeus and Asteria; and according to Pherecydes, a daughter of Aristaeus. and to Pallas and Styx were born Victory, Dominion, Emulation, and Violence. For this brood of abstractions, the offspring of Styx and Pallas, see Hes. Th. 383ff. ; Hyginus, Fab. p. 30, ed. Bunte .
