Topic: Theia (disambiguation)


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Theia Information
She seems here a goddess of glittering in particular and of glory in general, but Pindar's allusion to her as "Theia of many names" is telling, since it suggests assimilation not only to similar mother-of-the-sun goddess like Phoebe and Leto, but perhaps also to more universalizing mother-figures like Rhea and Cybele.
Theia's mythological role as the mother of the Moon goddess Selene is referenced in the application of the name to a hypothetical planet which, according to one theory, collided with the Earth, resulting in the Moon's creation.
Theia is one of three titans that Xena meets in Xena: Warrior Princess in season 1, episode 7, "The Titans".

Modern interpretations of Theia by many Neopagans, particularly sects in the United States, include the interpretation that she is the all seeing sister of Hyperion.
Theia is sometimes seen as a kind and beautiful goddess, but her blessings are sometimes to be feared.
