Perses (Titan)

Perses (/ˈpɜːrsiz/; Ancient Greek: Πέρσης) was the son of the Titan Crius and Eurybia.[1][2] His name is derived from the Ancient Greek word perthō (πέρθω – "to sack", "to ravage", "to destroy"), the fact of which may have given scholars the impression that Perses was perhaps the Titan god of destruction. He was wed to Asteria (daughter of Phoebe and Coeus).[3][2] They had one child noted in mythology, Hecate, honoured by Zeus above all others as the goddess of magic, crossroads, and witchcraft.

gollark: This has similar issues to the idea of a separate ControversialEsolangs, if less so.
gollark: CGNAT is quite apioform, yes.
gollark: I wonder if some sort of dynamically-switchable channel content warning thing would be remotely doable.
gollark: Also this.
gollark: I mean, if I were being more consistent, which I probably should be, we should maybe... not have rule 4, in its current form? Probably the imagery bit due to things I already outlined, but better methods for handling "textual conversation which makes me uncomfortable" than just not having it which would generalize to other things.
