Translation
Sight, Prophecy
THEIA was the Titan goddess of sight (thea) and the shining ether of the bright, blue sky (aithre). She was also, by
extension, the goddess who endowed gold and silver with their brilliance and intrinsic value. Theia bore the Titan Hyperion three shining children--Helios the Sun, Eos the Dawn, and Selene the Moon. Her name was derived from the Greek words thea &sight& and theiaz& &prophesy&. She was also named Aithre (Aethra) &Blue-Sky& and Euryphaessa &Wide-Shining&.

ENCYCLOPEDIA
THEIA (Theia). A daughter of Uranus and Ge, one of the female Titans, became by Hyperion the mother of Helios, Eos, and Selene, that is, she was regarded as the deity from which all light proceeded. (Hes. Theog. 135, 371 ; Pind. Isthm. v. 1; Apollod. i. 1. & 3, 2. & 2; Catull. 66. 44.)

CLASSICAL LITERATURE QUOTES
Hesiod, Theogony 132 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.) :
&She [Gaia, the Earth] lay with Ouranos (Uranus, Sky) and bare deep-swirling Okeanos (Oceanus), Koios (Coeus) and Krios (Crius) and Hyperion and Iapetos, Theia and Rhea, Themis and Mnemosyne (Memory) and gold-crowned Phoibe and lovely Tethys. After them was born Kronos (Cronus).&
Hesiod, Theogony 371 ff :
&And Theia was subject in love to Hyperion and bare great Helius (the Sun) and clear Selene (the Moon) and Eos (the Dawn).&
Homeric Hymn 31 to Helius (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th - 4th B.C.) :
&Helios (the Sun) whom mild-eyed Euryphaessa (Wide-Shining) [Theia], the far-shining one (phaithonta), bare to the son of Gaia (Gaea, Earth) and starry Ouranos (Uranus, Heaven). For Hyperion wedded glorious Euryphaessa, his own sister, who bare him lovely children, rosy-armed Eos (Dawn) and rich-tressed Selene (Moon) and tireless Helios (Sun).&
Homeric Hymn 3 to Delian Apollo 89 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th - 4th B.C.) :
&Leto [on the island of Delos] was racked nine days and nine nights with pangs beyond wont. And there were with her all the chiefest of the goddesses, Dione and Rheia and Ikhnaie (Ichnaea) and Themis and loud-moaning Amphitrite and the other deathless goddesses. Then the child leaped forth to the light, and all the goddesses raised a cry. Straightway, great Phoibos [Apollon], the goddesses washed you purely and cleanly with sweet water, and swathed you in a white garment of fine texture, new-woven, and fastened a golden band about you.&
[N.B. The &chiefest of the goddesses& are the Titanides. Amphitrite stands in the place of Tethys, Dione is equivalent to Phoibe, and Ikhnaie &the tracing goddess& is Theia.]
Pindar, Isthmian Ode 5. 1 ff (trans. Conway) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.) :
&Mother of Helios (the Sun), Theia, goddess of many names, thanks to thee men ascribe to gold a strength exceeding all other powers that are. For ships that sail the seas in rivalry and racing chariot steeds for thy honour, O queen, rise to the height of wondrous deeds amidst the whirling wheels of struggle. And in the contests of the Games, he reaps that prize of glory that all hearts desire.&
Stesichorus, Fragment S17
(trans. Campbell, Vol. Greek Lyric III) (C7th B.C.) :
&[Helios the Sun] went down into the cup of solid gold, so that he might cross over Okeanos (Oceanus) and reach the depths of holy, dark night and his mother [i.e. Theia] and wedded wife and dear children.&
Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 2 - 3 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
&Ouranos (Uranus, Sky) . . . fathered other sons on Ge (Earth), namely the Titanes (Titans) : Okeanos (Oceanus), Koios (Coeus), Hyperion, Kreios (Crius), Iapetos (Iapetus), and Kronos (Cronus) also daughters called Titanides (Titanesses) : Tethys, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoibe (Phoebe), Dione, and Theia.&
Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 8 - 9 :
&The Titanes (Titans) had children . . . Hyperion and Theia had Eos (Dawn), Helios (Sun), and Selene (Moon).&
Strabo, Geography 9. 5. 15 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
&Ikhnai (Ichnae) [in Phthiotis, Thessalia], where Themis Ikhnaia (Ichnaea) is held in honor.&
[N.B. Perhaps meaning Themis and Ikhnaia, with Ikhnaia being Theia. Themis was similarly paired with the Titanesss Phoibe at the oracle of Delphoi and with
Dione at the oracle of Dodona.]
Pseudo-Hyginus, Preface (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
&From Hyperion and Aethra [were born] : Sol [Helios], Luna [Selene], Aurora [Eos].&

COMMENTARY
1. The ancient Greeks believed the eyes emitted a beam of invisible light--much like a lamp--which allowed one to see whatever it touched. Hence Theia, mother of sight (thea), was also the mother of the light-beaming sun, moon and dawn.
2. Theia was apparently a female aspect of the primordial deity --the shining ether of the blue sky. In this role she is fittingly described as a daughter of Heaven and mother of the Sun, Moon and Dawn.
3. Theia was also an oracular goddess whose name
is connected with the word theiaz&, &to divine or prophecy.& The Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo seems to equate her with Ikhnaie (Ichnaea), &the tracing goddess,& who possessed an oraclular shrine at Ikhnai in Phthiotis. Theia's sister-Titans were also oracular goddesses-- held Delphoi,
Dodona, and
presided over all
the oracles.

【游戏简介】
& && &《古惑狼：泰坦》，是一款以动作游戏，本作不仅在游戏风格，甚至在操作与系统方面也进行了重大改革。
　　游戏最主要的变化来自游戏的进行方式。在以往的《古惑狼》游戏中，开发者往往更注重表现娱乐性，而在新作中，主角古惑狼的动作，特别是拳打脚踢的格斗风格被得以重点描绘。 古惑狼在游戏中可以举起小型敌人，利用它们的不同特性去打倒大型的敌人，如此循环往复，游戏开发者把这个过程形象地比喻成 “生物链”系统。
