Titanʹia

.

Wife of Oʹberon, king of the fairies. According to the belief in Shakespeare’s age, fairies were the same as the classic nymphs, the attendants of Diana. The queen of the fairies was therefore Diana herself, called Titania by Ovid (Metamorphoses, iii. 173). (Keightley: Fairy Mythology.)
