Encyclopedia > Dea Matrona

In Celtic mythology, Dea Matrona ("divine mother goddess") was the goddess of the river Marne in Gaul.


The Welsh goddess Modron, mother of Mabon is derived from her. By analogy, Dea Matrona was probably the mother of Maponos.


Not to be confused with the Deae Matres.

Dea inizialmente era l’appellativo con il quale s’invocavano Cibele, Venere e Maia, poi divenne il nome proprio della dea Fauna, sorella e moglie di Fauno.
, nata dalla spuma del mare, dea italica originariamente legata al culto della rinascita primaverile della natura e, quindi, della fertilità, in seguito al contatto dei Romani con i Greci fu assimilata alla dea greca Afrodite, e divenne dea della bellezza e dell’amore.
Nel tempio della dea le sacerdotesse custodivano anche gli oggetti religiosi e arcani conosciuti solo dal loro capo spirituale: il Pontefice Massimo.
