Maia (MY-uh)
Greek Nymph / Pleiad
Maia
Maia, eldest of the Pleiades and daughter of Atlas and Pleione, is the goddess of quiet birth and midnight mystery. A mountain-dweller and lover of solitude, she shunned the noise of Olympus—yet bore one of its greatest gods, Hermes, after a secretive union with Zeus. Where other deities chase legacy, Maia preserves peace. She is the hidden hearth, the unseen midwife of transformation.
Though modest in myth, Maia’s role is essential. She embodies the turning of the year’s wheel from cold to bloom, the moment seeds crack open beneath snow. Her nature is that of concealed potential—fertility not flaunted, but protected. Her home in the caves of Arcadia became sacred ground, and her son’s brilliance carries the subtle strength of her influence.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Slender and earth-toned, Maia bears the wild beauty of untamed hills—her hair thick and wind-knotted, her eyes green-gold like sun through leaf canopies. Always barefoot, always watching.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Sensual, but reclusive—her union with Zeus is an exception, not her pattern. She thrives in stillness, not pursuit.
