In [[Greek mythology]], the goddess '''Pandia''' {{IPAc-en|p|æ|n|ˈ|d|aɪ|ə}} or '''Pandeia''' ({{langx|grc|Πανδία, Πανδεία}}, meaning "all brightness")<ref>Fairbanks, [https://archive.org/stream/MythologyOfGreeceAndRomespecialReferenceToItsInfluenceOnLiterature/bulgaria_fairbanks-GRE1907#page/n175/mode/2up p. 162]. Regarding the meaning of "Pandia", Kerenyi, p. 197, says: '"the entirely shining" or the "entirely bright"&mdash; doubtless the brightness of nights of full moon.'</ref> was a daughter of [[Zeus]] and the goddess [[Selene]], the Greek personification of the moon.<ref>Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA46 p. 46]; ''Hymn to Selene'' (32) [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0138%3Ahymn%3D32 15&ndash;16]; Allen, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0029%3Atext%3Dcomm%3Apoem%3D32 [15<nowiki>]</nowiki> "ΠανδείηΝ"], says that Pandia was "elsewhere unknown as a daughter of Selene", but see [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''[[Fabulae]]'' [http://www.theoi.com/Text/HyginusFabulae1.html Preface], [[Philodemus]], ''De pietate'' P.Herc. 243 Fragment 6 (Obbink, [https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=D4tDMNaqKfIC&oi=fnd&pg=PA353 p. 353]).</ref> From the ''[[Homeric Hymn]] to Selene'', we have: "Once the Son of Cronos [Zeus] was joined with her [Selene] in love; and she conceived and bare a daughter Pandia, exceeding lovely amongst the deathless gods."<ref>''Hymn to Selene'' (32) [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0138%3Ahymn%3D32 15&ndash;16].</ref> An Athenian tradition perhaps made Pandia the wife of [[Antiochus (mythology)|Antiochus]], the eponymous hero of [[Antiochis]], one of the ten Athenian tribes ([[phyle|''phylai'']]).<ref>West, p. 19, which describes Pandia as an  "obscure figure"; Tsagalis, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8TtbDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA53 p. 53].</ref>

Originally Pandia may have been an epithet of Selene,<ref>Willetts, p. 178; Cook, [https://archive.org/stream/zeusstudyinancie01cookuoft#page/732/mode/2up p. 732]; Roscher, [https://archive.org/stream/berseleneundver00poligoog#page/n125/mode/2up p. 100]; Scholiast on Demosthenes, 21.39a.</ref> but by at least the time of the late ''Homeric Hymn'', Pandia had become a daughter of Zeus and Selene.<ref>For evidence on the dating of the ''Hymn to Selene'', see Hall 2013.</ref> Pandia (or Pandia Selene) may have personified the full moon,<ref>Cox, pp. [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.24849/page/n157/mode/2up 138], [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.24849/page/n159/mode/2up 140]; Casford, [https://books.google.com/books?id=YQVdvH_z74oC&q=Pandia p. 174].</ref> and an Athenian festival called the [[Pandia (festival)|Pandia]] (probably held for [[Zeus]]<ref>Parker 2005, [https://books.google.com/books?id=F_ATDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA477 pp. 477&ndash;478].</ref>) was perhaps celebrated on the full-moon and may have been connected to her.<ref>Robertson, [https://books.google.com/books?id=AMTNIZ_LQjoC&pg=PA75 p. 75 note 109]; Willets, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=wz0qAAAAYAAJ&q=Pandia+Selene 178&ndash;179]; Cook, [https://archive.org/stream/zeusstudyinancie01cookuoft#page/732/mode/2up. 732]; Harpers, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0062%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DS%3Aentry+group%3D8%3Aentry%3Dselene-harpers "Selene"]; Smith, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text;jsessionid=BDFA02D9C2623BF90A2B1EC34D743408?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0063%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DP%3Aentry+group%3D1%3Aentry%3Dpandia-cn "Pandia"]; ''Lexica Segueriana'' s.v.
