==In other works== [[File:CSA-T22-$10-1861β62.jpg|thumb|Thetis depicted (left) on a CSA [[Confederate States dollar|$10 bill]] in 1861β62]] * [[Homer]]'s ''[[Iliad]]'' makes many references to Thetis. * [[Euripides]]'s ''[[Andromache (play)|Andromache]],'' 1232β1272. * [[Apollonius of Rhodes|Apollonius Rhodius]], ''[[Argonautica]]'' IV, 770β879. * ''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheca]]'' 3.13.5. * [[Francesco Cavalli]]'s first opera ''[[Le nozze di Teti e di Peleo]]'', composed in 1639, concerned the marriage of Thetis and [[Peleus]]. * [[W. H. Auden|WH Auden]]'s poem [[The Shield of Achilles]] imagines Thetis's witnessing of the forging of [[Achilles]]'s shield. * In 1939, [[HMS Thetis (N25)]] then a new design of submarine, sank on her trials in the River Mersey shortly after she left the dock in [[Liverpool]]. There were 103 people on board and 99 died. The cause of the accident was an inspection hole to allow a [[sailor]] to look into the [[torpedo tube]]s. A special closure for this inspection hole had been painted over. Once submerged the torpedo tube flooded and the bow of the vessel sank. The stern was still above water. Ninety-nine people, half of them dockyard workers, died of [[carbon monoxide poisoning]]. * In 1981, British actress [[Maggie Smith]] portrayed Thetis in the [[Ray Harryhausen]] film ''[[Clash of the Titans (1981 film)|Clash of the Titans]]'' (for which she won a [[Saturn Awards|Saturn Award]]). In the film, she acts as the main antagonist to the hero [[Perseus]] for the mistreatment of her son Calibos. * In 1999, British poet [[Carol Ann Duffy]] published ''[[The World's Wife]]'' poetry collection, which included a poem based on Thetis. * In 2004, British actress [[Julie Christie]] portrayed Thetis in the [[Wolfgang Petersen]] film ''[[Troy (film)|Troy]].'' * In 2011, American novelist [[Madeline Miller]] portrayed Thetis in ''[[The Song of Achilles]]'' as a harsh and remote deity. She does not approve of Patroclus and tries to separate him and Achilles on multiple occasions. * The 2018 novel ''[[The Silence of the Girls]]'' focuses on the character of Briseis in the first person, with interjections giving Achilles's internal state of mind, including his tormented relationship with his mother. * In 2019, New Zealand [[graphic designer]] Rachel Smythe portrayed Thetis in "[[Lore Olympus]]". She is personal secretary to Zeus, with whom she also has an affair. She is also the toxic best friend of [[Minthe]] and works with her to bring down [[Persephone]].
