Dia, daughter of the king
Lycaon (thus sister of
Callisto), mother of
Dryops by
Apollo.[6] She concealed her new-born infant in a hollow oak tree.[7]
Dia, second wife of the
Thracian king
Phineus and by him, mother of
Mariandynus and
Thynus. She falsely accused of rape her step sons,
Parthenius and
Crambis, leading to their blindness and eventual imprisonment by Phineus.[8]
Dia, the
Perrhaebian daughter of
Deioneus[9] or
Eioneus,[10] wife of
Ixion[11] (who killed her father so as to not pay the
bride price) and with her husband, she became mother of the
LapithPirithous, whose marriage to
Hippodameia was the occasion of the Lapiths'
battle with the Centaurs. According to
Homer, after having sex with
Zeus, who was disguised as a stallion, she gave birth to Pirithous; a
folk etymology derived Pirithous' name from peritheein (περιθεῖν "to run around"), because that was what Zeus did to seduce Dia.[12][13] The Jovian moon
Dia is named after this Dia.[14]
Dia, alternate name for Hippodamia, the wife of Pirithous (thus daughter-in-law of another Dia).[15]
^"Only another name for
Hebe, the daughter of
Hera", according to
Karl Kerenyi (The Gods of the Greeks, 1951, p.159), who adds "and indeed was probably the name for Hera herself, as 'she who belongs to Zeus' or 'the heavenly one'—for this is the meaning of the word."
