Leucothea is a Persona in Persona 5: The Phantom X.
History[]
Leucothea is a Greek sea goddess with varying origin stories, all involving a woman being made into a goddess after jumping into the sea. In one variant, she was the human queen of Athamas named Ino who cared for the newborn Dionysus and was punished with insanity by Hera for doing so. In her madness, she flung herself and her own son into the sea. Out of pity, the other Olympian gods transformed them both into sea gods, with Ino being renamed Leucothea. In another variant, she was a nymph named Halia who became a wife of Poseidon and bore him six sons. In retaliation for being offended by Poseidon, Aphrodite drove their sons mad, making them assault Halia before they were confined by Poseidon in caves beneath their home island. Halia then flung herself into the sea and became Leucothea.
Her name translates to “White Goddess,” another name she would come to be known by in European fiction.

Trivia[]
- The caged bird on Leucothea's hat and her feather-laden design may be a reference to Byssa, a woman in Greek mythology who refused to honor Athena, Artemis and Hermes. As punishment, she was transformed into a Byssa bird, considered sacred to Leucothea. This bird is theorized to either be an owl, given its name's similarity to words referring to them, or a seabird such as a gull or shearwater given its sacredness to a sea goddess.
