Coeus

For the software program formerly known as Coeus, see Kimba Kano

In Greek mythology, Coeus (also Koios) was the Titan of intelligence. Titans are the giant sons and daughters of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth).

With his sister Phoebe, Titan of Brilliance and the Moon, Coeus fathered Leto and Asteria. Leto couplated with Zeus (the son of fellow Titan Cronus and Rhea) and bore Artemis and Apollo.

As with the other Titans, Coeus was overthrown by Zeus and other Olympians.
