Maia was a character in Greek mythology. She was the oldest of the seven daughters borne by Pleione and Atlas. Among the sisters, Maia, the eldest, was also the most gorgeous and the coyest. She was sometimes referred to as the Goddess of fields. In Roman Mythology, Maia Maiestas was a goddess who could be said to be the counterpart of an old goddess of spring. Hence, the month of May, which is spring time, is named after her.
Our Maia, shown here, came to live with my daughter Pamm's family on August 3, 1994 - she went home on July 22, 2008. Rest in peace sweet girl!! She was a wonderful pet... loving and gentle...and very good. I know her family misses her.
