Thetis

Θέτις

The sea goddess fated to bear a son greater than his father.

Both Zeus and Poseidon desired her, but the prophecy that her son would surpass his father made them both back away.

So she was married to the mortal Peleus — and at that wedding, the uninvited Eris threw the golden apple.

She tried everything to protect her son Achilles, but in the end could not prevent his short life.
