PHOIBE (or Phoebe) was the Titan goddess of the "bright" intellect, wife of Koios, "the inquirer." She was the third goddess to hold the Oracle of Delphi which she gifted to her grandson Apollo on his birthday. Phoebe`s name was associated with the Greek words phoibos, "bright" or "radiant," phoibaô "to purify" and phoibazô "to give prophesy"[Ref: www.theoi.com/Titan/TitanisPhoibe.html?]. HKA#64584
