Hesikhia (Ἡσυχείη) was one of the fifty daughters of Thespius, King of Thespiae, Boeotia. She was one of forty-nine daughters who by impersonating her older sister Prokris during one of the fifty nights Herakles was in Thespia was able to have sex with Herakles (believing Hesikhia was Prokris) and consequently get pregnant by him (as King Thespius had hoped). Hesikhia would bare Herakles a son Oestrobleus.
