thalia

Thalia may refer to several subjects in mythology, astronomy, biology, and onomastics. In Greek mythology, Thalia is one of the nine Muses, the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is traditionally the muse of comedy and pastoral or idyllic poetry.

In astronomy, Thalia is the name given to a small natural satellite of the planet Saturn.

In biology, Thalia is a genus of flowering plants in the Marantaceae family, native to tropical Americas. The plants are typically herbaceous perennials with ornamental foliage.

In onomastics, Thalia is a feminine given name of Greek origin. It is associated with flourishing or blooming, reflecting its mythological and botanical connections.

A variant spelling, Thalía, is used by the Mexican singer and actress Thalía (born 1971), though the accent is often omitted in English-language contexts. The name appears in various cultural contexts, including literature and media, and is sometimes adopted as a character name or a stage name.
