Theia
In Greek mythology, Theia (also written Thea or Thia), also called Euryphaessa ("wide-shining"), was a Titaness. The name Theia alone means simply "goddess"; Theia Euryphaessa brings overtones of extent (eury-) and brightness. With her brother and husband Hyperion, "mild-eyed Euryphaessa, the far-shining one" (Homeric Hymn to Helios) was the mother of Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon) and Eos (the Dawn).
