Ilithyia (/aɪlɪθɪˈɑˈ/ IPA, Ηλητχγηα in Olympian, also called Eileithyia) is the Greek goddess of childbirth, daughter of Zeus and Hera. A very minor goddess in mythology, Ilithyia prefers to work in the shadows.

She was among the main adversaries of the “Until Gods do us part” and “The serpent’s reach” storylines.

Biography

Not much is known about Ilithyia. She’s the favorite daughter of Hera, one of the few beings able to manipulate her.
Despite her extremely polite demeanor, she’s very cruel and ruthless. After the Mortal Uprising and the awakening of Tiamat, Hera took advantage of the chaos to give Ilithyia space formerly belonging to Artemis and Enyo.

As part of her scheme to increase her family’s control over the Galaxy, Ilithyia married Helios and backed his claim to the tile of Sun God, in open opposition to Apollo.

She later defected the Olympian pantheon and backed the Egyptians in an invasion of the Olympian Galaxy.
Despite being pregnant with her first child, she was sentenced to death by her mother Hera and executed by her brother Ares.

Godlike strength: Ilithyia is as strong as she thinks she is.
