Brief Bio

Theia, a Titaness of divine beauty and light, was a daughter of Uranus and Gaia.  Known for her radiant splendor, she personified the shining brilliance of the sun and the celestial bodies.  While not a major figure in many myths, her role as a mother of powerful deities like Helios, Selene, and Eos underscores her importance as a source of celestial light and influence in the early cosmos.  She embodied the beauty and power of the heavens, a source of inspiration for artists and poets, even if her presence in the myths is often less prominent than her more celebrated siblings and children.
