In Greek mythology, Thalassa (Θάλασσα, "sea") is a primordial sea goddess, daughter of Aether and Hemera. With sea god Pontus, she was the mother of the nine Telchines and Halia. Sometimes, she was thought of as the mother of Aphrodite with Uranus or with Zeus.
Alternative names are Thalatta and Thalath.
In 2011, Swoon created a site-specific installation depicting the goddess in the atrium of the New Orleans Museum of Art.
