Theia is the Titan goddess of the Clear Sight, Splendor and Enlightenment. She is a member of the first generation of the Titans, daughter of Ouranos and Gaea, the sister-wife of Hyperion and the mother of Helios, Selene and Eos.
History[]
Early Life[]
Theia was born as the oldest daughter among the twelve Titans, the eldest of the three races born to Gaea (Mother Earth) and Ouranos (Father Sky). She, her sisters and her eldest brother Oceanus, all refused to take part in Kronos' usurpation and subsequent castration of Ouranos.
Personality[]
According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, she loved sparkly things and bright scenic views. Every morning she would dance with happiness when daylight returned. She would climb mountains just so she could see for miles around. She would even delve underground and bring out precious gems with her magic powers to make them gleam and sparkle. She was the one that gave gold its luster and made diamonds glitter.
Abilities[]
- Titanic Energy: Like all Titans, Theia has the ability to blast things hundreds of yards away from herself with a yell or a wave of the hand.
- Titanic Divine Form: As a Titaness, Theia has the ability to incinerate any being lesser than a god/Titan only by being present.
- Tongue of the Old Times fluency: According to Tyson, this is the ancient language that Gaea spoke to the Titans, Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires before the birth of the Olympian gods. Hence, Theia understands and speaks it perfectly.
