Mythology
The Oceanid nymph[1] Theia became the mother of the Cercopes,[2][3] two mischievous impish thieves, by her own father Oceanus.[4] When her sons stole from the hero Heracles, he seized and bound them and was about to kill them; Theia begged him to let her sons go.[5] They were then transformed into either monkeys or stone.[4]
