For other figures named Thyia, see Thyia (mythology).

In Greek mythology, Thyia ( /ˈθaɪə/ ; Ancient Greek : Θυία, romanized: Thuía, derived from the verb θύω "to sacrifice")^{[ citation needed ]} was the daughter of Deucalion. Thyia bore to Zeus two sons, Magnes and Makednos, the latter of whom was considered the eponym of Macedonia. ^[1] This genealogy comes from Hesiod's lost work, the Catalogue of Women , as preserved in the De Thematibus of Constantine Porphyrogenitus. ^[2]
