Eidyia

In Greek mythology, there was a goddess named Eidyia.

Born from the great Titan, Oceanus and the Deity, Tethys.

Knowledge born from the blue-green colors of the sea.

 

As a young girl, Eidyia explored the World River.

She moved from place to place, exploring every inch she could find until she knew the name and face of every creature that lived there.

 

And the creatures knew her.

Eidyia, the beautiful daughter with ocean eyes.

Knowledge as vast as the World River itself.

 

She made sure the creatures were taken care of.

She played with them when they were sad.

And nursed them when they were sick.

 

Not much else is known about Eidyia.

She married the son of Helios, Aietes, and met Jason on his quest for the golden fleece.

 

But where the pages of Greek mythology are unwritten,

You and I shall fill in the blanks.

The same blue-green ocean eyes;

Knowledge as vast as the World River;

A heart of gold;

And a beautiful soul.

 

Let's write our own story, shall we?
