Tiasa

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiasa ( Greek  Τίασα ) is in Greek mythology a naiad of the river of the same name or its sources, which was near Amyclai near Sparta . Her father is the river god Eurotas . On the river Tiasa stood a sanctuary which was dedicated to the only two Charites, Kleta and Phaenna , who were worshiped by the Spartans and which was supposedly founded by Lacedaemon . It can probably be identified with the Tiassa of Hesych and the Tiassos of Athenaios .
