The Titan Pallas and the Oceanid Styx produced four children — Zelus, Nike, Kratos, and Bia — who personified zeal, victory, strength, and force respectively.
During the Titanomachy, Styx was the first immortal to bring her four children — Kratos, Bia, Nike, and Zelus — to fight for Zeus against the Titans, securing their place as his eternal attendants.
Bia (Force) served Zeus as an attendant and enforcer alongside her sibling Kratos, carrying out his commands by divine authority.
In Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound, Kratos and Bia escort Prometheus to the Caucasus while Hephaestus reluctantly forges the chains that bind the Titan to the rock.
Bia and her siblings Kratos, Nike, and Zelus fought alongside the Olympians in the Titanomachy after their mother Styx brought them to Zeus as the first allies against the Titans.
