About this deal

An early Greek goddess of the sun, daughter of Helios and Rhode, and possibly goddess of the morning. Etymology The Acropolis at Athens (1846) by Leo von Klenze. Athena's name probably comes from the name of the city of Athens. [5] [6] The Feast of Bath was a ritual held in honor of the goddess in Panathenaea. It took place at the end of the season and ran for five days. The festival required the removal of her clothing from a statue built in her honor. After washing the clothing and purifying the status, guests would take part in various crafts. Ares was the god of bloodlust. (His half-sister Athena represented the more "noble" aspects of combat and civil conduct during war.) Though his fellow deities weren’t particularly fond of him, the Spartans had no problems, er, donating some prisoners of war to his worship. And sacrificing dogs…yeah, that’s right, Ares liked dead puppies. Jerk. His Roman equivalent was Mars.

Saraswati is often depicted as dressed in white and sitting on a white lotus. She has four arms – two are playing a lute-like instrument, known as the veena, while the third arm holds a mala (a rosary) and the fourth holds a book, symbolizing her artistry, spiritual essence, and intellect. Her image reflects purity and serenity. In Rig Veda, she’s a significant deity associated with flowing water or energy and is known by many names: Brahmani (science), Vani and Vachi (the flow of music and speech); and Varnesvari (writing or letters). 9- Seshat Seshat Goddess. By Jeff Dahl – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0. Source. Athena appeared in the Odyssey as well as Homeric Hymns. Hesiod mentioned her in Theogony where he gave her an epithet that meant born in Triton. A popular myth claims that after Zeus abandoned her, Athena wandered the world and found Triton. Mistress of the House of Books" is another title for Seshat, being the deity whose priests oversaw the library in which scrolls of the most important knowledge were assembled and spells were preserved. One prince of the Fourth Dynasty, Wep-em-nefret, is noted as the Overseer of the Royal Scribes, Priest of Seshat on a slab stela. Heliopolis was the location of her principal sanctuary.

Athena was originally the Aegean goddess of the palace, who presided over household crafts and protected the king. [11] [12] [13] [14] A single Mycenaean Greek inscription 𐀀𐀲𐀙𐀡𐀴𐀛𐀊 a-ta-na po-ti-ni-ja appears at Knossos in the Linear B tablets from the Late Minoan II-era "Room of the Chariot Tablets"; [15] [16] [10] these comprise the earliest Linear B archive anywhere. [15] Although Athana potnia is often translated as "Mistress Athena", it could also mean "the Potnia of Athana", or the Lady of Athens. [10] [17] However, any connection to the city of Athens in the Knossos inscription is uncertain. [18] A sign series a-ta-no-dju-wa-ja appears in the still undeciphered corpus of Linear A tablets, written in the unclassified Minoan language. [19] This could be connected with the Linear B Mycenaean expressions a-ta-na po-ti-ni-ja and di-u-ja or di-wi-ja ( Diwia, "of Zeus" or, possibly, related to a homonymous goddess), [15] resulting in a translation "Athena of Zeus" or "divine Athena". Similarly, in the Greek mythology and epic tradition, Athena figures as a daughter of Zeus ( Διός θυγάτηρ; cfr. Dyeus). [20] However, the inscription quoted seems to be very similar to " a-ta-nū-tī wa-ya", quoted as SY Za 1 by Jan Best. [20] Best translates the initial a-ta-nū-tī, which is recurrent in line beginnings, as "I have given". [20] The Greek biographer Plutarch (AD 46–120) refers to an instance during the construction of the Propylaia of her being called Athena Hygieia (Ὑγίεια, i.e. personified "Health") after inspiring a physician to a successful course of treatment. [49] From her origin as an Aegean palace goddess, Athena was closely associated with the city. She was known as Polias and Poliouchos (both derived from polis, meaning "city-state"), and her temples were usually located atop the fortified acropolis in the central part of the city. The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis is dedicated to her, along with numerous other temples and monuments. As the patron of craft and weaving, Athena was known as Ergane. She was also a warrior goddess, and was believed to lead soldiers into battle as Athena Promachos. Her main festival in Athens was the Panathenaia, which was celebrated during the month of Hekatombaion in midsummer and was the most important festival on the Athenian calendar.

While some used these events in the hopes of meeting a suitable man for marriage and citizenship, others simply wanted to make friends and connect with others. Her cults established several sanctuaries in her honor. In chapter 35 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, High provides brief descriptions of 16 ásynjur. High lists Vör tenth, and says that Vör is "wise and inquiring, so that nothing can be concealed from her." High adds that a saying exists where "a woman becomes aware ( vor) of something when she finds it out." [3] In chapter 75 of the Prose Edda book Skáldskaparmál Vör appears within a list of 27 ásynjur names. [4] Theories [ edit ] In the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, the feminine personification of divine wisdom as Holy Wisdom ( Ἁγία Σοφία; Hagía Sophía) can refer either to Jesus Christ the Word of God (as in the dedication of the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople) or to the Holy Spirit. References to sophía in Koine Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible are translated from the Hebrew term Chokhmah.

goddess of the hearth, home, architecture, domesticity, family, and the state. Also one of the Hesperides. In Norse mythology, Vör ( Old Norse: Vǫr, possibly "the careful one," [1] or "aware, careful" [2]) is a goddess associated with wisdom. Vör is attested in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson; and twice in kennings employed in skaldic poetry. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the goddess. What is Theosophy?". Age of the sage. Archived from the original on 2021-01-26 . Retrieved 2012-08-30. Dionysus was a son of Zeus born to a mortal mother. When Zeus accidentally killed her, he sewed the young Dionysus into his thigh and, when the young god emerged, passed him to the care of the maenads. The cult of Dionysus revolved around intoxication, sex, and savage ritual sacrifice. He was often symbolized by a bull due to his association with the sacrificial animal. Elements of his character are seen in the Roman god of wine, Bacchus. The queen goddess of Olympus, Hera was both sister and wife to Zeus. Though she is often depicted as reserved and austere, she was mercilessly vindictive when it came to her husband’s [many] extramarital adventures. Unfortunately for the objects of Zeus’s godly affections, Hera tended to torment the "other women" (and their offspring, including Heracles) rather than Zeus himself. Her Roman equivalent was Juno.
