    For other uses see Thalia disambiguation . In Greek mythology, Thalia Th leia or Th lia , the Joyous, the Flourishing , from th llein , to flourish, to be green is a nymph, the child of Hephaestus . She is also given as an anthropomorphic secondary deity of plant life and shoots, possibly as the culmination of the transmission of knowledge on volcanic ash s use as a fertiliser, characteristic of ancient viticulture in volcanic soils such as those of the islands of Thera and Santorini . The tradition surrounding her is confused, but she is probably confused with the Thalia muse muse , Thalia grace grace or Thalia Nereid Nereid of the same name. Macrobius s Saturnales song V states how Zeus seized this Thalia whilst he was in the form of an eagle, as he did with Aegina mythology Aegina , Leto and Ganymede mythology Ganymede . He then made love to her near the river Symethe on Sicily and then buried her in the ground to avoid Hera s jealousy. Her twin children, the Palici , were thus born from the earth, though other authors make the Palici the sons of Hephaestus .

Tying the fly Frank Sawyers book Nymphs and the Trout first published in 1958 describes the method of tying and fishing the nymph.

This has two effects it adds weight to the fly, enabling it to be fished deeper than similar patterns see below , and adds a subtle brightness to an otherwise drab fly. Frank twisted the wire and pheasant tail fibers around one another, and wrapped them forward together, forming the thorax and abdomen.
