The Violet Fritillary (Clossiana dia) is a widely distributed butterfly of the brush-footed butterflies family (Nymphalidae) found throughout temperate Europe and Asia as far as western China. With a wing span of about 30 mm it is one of the smallest fritillaries. Two or three generations occur each year, commencing in April, the butterflies flying almost all year round. The caterpillars, which hibernate, feed on violets and blackberries.

In Greek mythology, Dia or Eioneus was a daughter of Deioneus and the mother of Peirithous by her husband, Ixion, according to one legend, or according to another, by Zeus. Peirithous is said to have received his name from the fact that Zeus when he attempted to seduce Dia ran around her in the form of a horse.
Dia is an alternative name for Hebe.
