In Greek mythology, Daeira (Ancient Greek: Δάειρα or Δαείρας) or Daira (Δαῖρα) was a divinity connected with the Eleusinian mysteries. Her name means the "knowing one" from daô knowing which links well to the inside knowledge of the initiate.
== Family == Daeira was a daughter of the Titan Oceanus possibly by his sister-wife Tethys, thus one of the 3,000 Oceanids. Others called her simply as the sister of Styx (also an Oceanid).
