In Greek mythology, Thalia or Thaleia (/ˈθeɪliə/[1] or /θəˈlaɪə/;[2] Greek: Θάλεια Tháleia, "the joyous, the abundance", from θάλλειν / thállein, "to flourish, to be green") was a nymph daughter of Hephaestus, and the mother of the Palici.[3] She was also given as an anthropomorphic secondary deity of plant life and shoots, possibly as the culmination of the transmission of knowledge on volcanic ash's use as a fertiliser, characteristic of ancient viticulture in volcanic soils such as those of the island of Santorini.[citation needed]
