InGreek mythology,Theia (/ˈθiːə/;Ancient Greek:Θεία,romanized: Theía,lit. 'divine', also renderedThea orThia) also calledMemnonis is one of the three thousandOceanidnymphs, daughters of theTitansOceanus andTethys, and the mother of theCercopes. She is not to be confused withTheia, sister to Oceanus and Tethys and mother ofHelios,Selene andEos.

The Oceanid nymph^[1] Theia became the mother of the Cercopes,^[2][3] two mischievous impish thieves, by her own father Oceanus.^[4] Their mother advised them not to provoke the braveHeracles, but when her sons stole from the hero, he seized and bound them and was about to kill them; Theia begged him to let her sons go.^[5] They were then transformed into either monkeys or stone (in some versions for trying to deceiveZeus).^[4]
