Maggie Smith (1981) |
Thetis is one of the Nereids, mother of Calibos the original version's main antagonist, in which she is portrayed by Maggie Smith. While most extant material about Thetis concerns her role as mother of Achilles and, as such, she is largely a creature of poetic fancy rather than cult worship in the historical period.
Clash of the Titans (1981)
She was a cruel and jealous being. She often was overprotective of her children. One of her more famous tales was when Princess Andromeda's mother, Cassiopea, declared that her daughter was more beautiful than Thetis. Outraged by the Queen's outburst, Thetis demanded that Andromeda was to be sacrificed to the Kraken for the insult. Perseus saved the princess by killing the Kraken with Medusa's head.
