Theia (Radiant) Greek A first-generation Titan goddess of sight and the shining light of the blue sky; daughter of Gaia and Uranus; mother, with Hyperion, of the gods who brought light to humans: Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon), and Eos (Dawn). She was known also as the female counterpart of Ether, the upper air. Theia's association with the concept of brilliant light made her also the goddess of gems and gold, because she gave to them their great value. She had the ability to see into the future. The people of Thessaly built a temple in her name.
