Theia By: Isabella Garcia
Theia is the Greek goddess of sight, and shinning light of the clear blue sky.
Her name (Theia) means goddess, and divine.
Theia can also be called Euryphaessa which means “wide-shining.”
Theia can be spelled as Thea but the pronunciation is still the same.
Theia is one of the original seven titans (Which there are 12 titans total now).
Theia’s husband (Hyperion) is her brother.
Theia possessed the gift of seeing into the future (or the gods spoke to her.)
Theia was the goddess who gave gold, silver, and glittering jewels to others.
Theia was associated with light and the sky. She was an early Goddess of Light.
Theia's hair color is the color red.
The Ancient Greeks believed that eyes made a small beam of light that allowed them to see. This makes sense as why Theia is the goddess of sight.
