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. | |wketx=In Greek mythology, [[Daeira]] (Ancient Greek: [[Δάειρα]] or [[Δαείρας]]) or [[Daira]] ([[Δαῖρα]]) was a divinity connected with the [[Eleusinian mysteries]].

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). | Daeira was a daughter of the Titan [[Oceanus]] possibly by his sister-wife [[Tethys]], thus one of the 3,000 Oceanids.

The Eleusinian link is clearly fundamental, and confirmed by offerings to Daeira in an Eleusinian context in two if not three fifth- and fourth-century sacrificial calendars. The chaos in the myths even in the fifth century must be due in part to the secrecy of the Mysteries, but perhaps also to the unimportance of this particular kind of accuracy in ritual matters. An Attic religious official δαειρίης (Δαειρίης?) is attested by Pollux of whose ritual activity Daeira may have been a projection. | The Eleusinian link is clearly fundamental, and confirmed by offerings to Daeira in an Eleusinian context in two if not three fifth- and fourth-century sacrificial calendars.
