| rdfs:comment | - In Greek mythology, Dia (Greek: Δία or Δῖα, "heavenly", "divine" or "she who belongs to Zeus") may refer to:
* Dia, a goddess venerated at Phlius and Sicyon. She was seen by the locals as identical to Hebe and/or Ganymeda.
* Dia, daughter of Deioneus or Eioneus, wife of Ixion (who killed her father so as to not pay the bride price) and mother of the Lapith Pirithous, whose marriage to Hippodameia was the occasion of the Lapiths' battle with the Centaurs. The father of Pirithous by her was Zeus, who approached her in the shape of a stallion; a folk etymology derived Pirithous' name from περιθεῖν "to run around", because that was what Zeus did to seduce Dia.
* Dia, daughter of the king Lycaon (thus sister of Callisto), mother of Dryops by Apollo.
* Dia, a daughter of Aeolus.
