Maia is a character in Greek mythology. She was the oldest of the seven daughters borne by Pleione and Atlas. The seven sisters were collectively called as the Pleiades. They all took birth on Mount Cyllene, in Arcadia. Due to this particular factor, the Pleiades were also called as mountain goddesses. Among the sisters, Maia, the eldest, was also the most gorgeous and the coyest. She was sometimes referred to as the Goddess of fields.

Maia bore a child Hermes, by Zeus. After the birth of her child, Maia encased the baby in blankets and fell into a deep slumber. The speedily growing baby crawled his way to Thessaly where he managed to steal Apollo's cattle.

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.
