My mother watched the soap opera, The Doctors, when I was growing up and one of the characters was a doctor named Dr. Althea Davis. The name or character must have made an impression on me for me to remember it all these years.
The Grateful Dead have a well-known song called Althea. Many Dead fans believe the song makes reference to both the mother of Meleager and Leda (Helen of Troy's mother) in Greek Mythology and a poem by Richard Lovelace, "To Althea, From Prison" in the 1600s.
