thea titaness
Theia (/ˈθiːə/) is a hypothesized ancient planet in the early Solar System that, according to the 'giant impact hypothesis', collided with Gaia (the early Earth) around 4.5 billion years ago. According to the hypothesis, Theia was an Earth trojan about the size of Mars, with a diameter of about 6,102 km (3,792 miles). There was a time 4 billion years ago when Thea slammed into the Earth, creating the Moon.
Could the ancients actually know such information? It is doubtful, but perhaps such intuitions are evidence of access to the cosmic aspects of the collective unconscious -- a collective gnosis about the nature of the primordial solar system, wild titanic forces of nature personified as archaic divinities.
In Greek mythology, Theia is also called Euryphaessa "wide-shining." She was the goddess of sight (thea) and the shining ether of the bright, blue sky (aithre). These echo the primordial manifestation of matter from the aether into manifestation -- visible form. The is the constantly continuous process, She was also, by extension, the goddess who endowed gold and silver with their brilliance and intrinsic value.
Theia bore the Titan Hyperion three shining children--Helios the Sun, Eos the Dawn, and Selene the Moon. Hesiod’s Theogony (line 372)
She and Hyperion were Titans of the same generation as Kronos (Cronos), and like Kronos, were the children of Gaia (Earth) and Ouranos (the Heavens).
