Thyia of Thessaly
In Greek mythology, Thyia (/ˈθaɪə/; Ancient Greek: Θυία Thuia derived from the verb θύω "to sacrifice") was the daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha and mother of Magnes and Makednos (the claimed ancestor of the Macedonians) by Zeus.[1] Her account was according to a quotation from Hesiod's lost work the Catalogue of Women, preserved in the De Thematibus of Constantine Porphyrogenitus and in Stephanus of Byzantium's Ethnika.[2][3]
