The Theia was a great pirate trireme sailing the Aegean Sea between Messara and Kythera Island during the 5th century BCE.
During the Peloponnesian War, the Adrestia, commanded by the Spartan misthios Kassandra and captained by Barnabas, engaged Theia and her companions in battle, and sank it. Kassandra claimed the sail and finery of Theia for her own.[1]
