One of the seven daughters of Atlas known as the Pleiades.
Maia was the consort of Zeus and the mother of Hermes; she lived in a cave on Mount Kyllene (Cyllene) in Arkadia (Arcadia).
The hunter, Orion, relentlessly pursued Maia and her sisters until they were changed into pigeons by Zeus and eventually put into the night sky as a constellation.
Her sisters are: Alkyone (Alcyone), Asterope, Elektra (Electra), Kelaeno (Celaeno), Merope and Taygete.
