Phoebe's creation
Hesiod, Theogony 132 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.) :
"She [Gaia the Earth] lay with Ouranos (Sky) and bare deep-swirling Okeanos, Koios and Krios and Hyperion and Iapetos, Theia and Rhea, Themis and Mnemosyne and gold-crowned Phoibe and lovely Tethys. After them was born Kronos."

Phoebe's talents include archery, hunting, rising the moon, prophesy, bringing light,and arcane works

Phoebe is the titanis of the moon, archery , prophecy, and the Oracle of Delphi and gave the right to it to Apollo for his birthday and for Artimus the bow

Being the titaness of the moon her symbol is the moon itself

Titans ruled the world overthrowing their father Uranus, who was the first ruler of the Universe. They were encouraged to these actions by their mother, Gaia who was frustrated with Uranus. The Titans indeed ruled the Universe and they were associated with different primal concepts and ruling results on the Earth.The Titans were Twelve, according to Hesiod who described them in his Theogony, however the later historians divide them to two different generations. The first generation consists of the offspring of Uranus and Gaia: Coeus, Crius, Cronos, the ruler of the universe, Dione, Hyperion, Mnemosyne, Oceanus, Phoebe, Rhea, mother of the Olympian Gods, Tethys, Thia or Euryphaessa, Themis.
The second generation of the Titans descends from the first and consists of:Asteria, Astraea, Astraeus, the father of the stars, Atlas,Eos or Dawn, Eosphorus, Epimetheus, Prometheus, Helius, Hesperus, Leto, Menoetius.
Cronos was the sovereign of the Titans and ruler of the Universe. When he dethroned his father, Uranus and Gaia told him that he would also be dethroned by his own son. Although Cronos had declared that he wanted to dethrone Uranus because he was not a decent and far ruler, he became a cunning and evil ruler as well. Later on, Zeus, Cronos’ son led the Gods against the Titans in a battle that is known in Mythology as the Titanomachy.Zeus decided to become the ruler of Universe instead of Cronos and urged the Gods to the Battle of the Titans, known as Titanomachy. After ten years of war on Mount Olympus, the Titans were captured and imprisoned in Tartarus, except for those who decided not to fight against Zeus and the Gods. Themis and Prometheus sided with the Gods, fighting against the Titans. During the war earthquakes and other disasters took place on Earth, due to the severe clash between Gods and Titans, while the sound of thunderstone and storms was echoing all over the Universe.

Phoebe's defeat
Phoebe like many of the Titans was cast to Tartarus even though she help the gods, but mostly peaceful
(Zeus is a jerk)
