Pronoia

PRONOIA (or Pronoea) was an Okaenid nymph of Mount Parnassos in Phokis (central Greece). She was the wife of the Titan Prometheus, and the goddess of foresight. Prometheus' wife was also named Hesione and Asia.

Pronoia was closely identified with the goddess Athena who, according to several ancient writers, was worshipped as Athena Pronoia at Delphoi. As an Okeanid she also resembles Athena's mother Metis.
