New Artwork I named "Juno"🎨🐎
Juno is the Roman goddess of marriage, motherhood, and the protector of women, embodying feminine creative and reproductive power. 🌷🌟
It was believed that every woman had her own Juno, a personal divine guardian.✨
Juno was the wife of Jupiter and was identified with the Greek goddess Hera. As Rome expanded across Italy, her cult absorbed influences from other Italic regions, gaining new functions and epithets.
Among her titles were:
— “Queen” (Regina),
— “Bringer of Light” (Lucina) — goddess of childbirth,
— “She who brings the child into the world,”
— Sospita (Sospita) — “the Helper,”
— Populona and Curitis — her warlike aspects, depicted with weapons, wearing a goatskin and riding a chariot,
— Calendaria — goddess of the first day of each month (the Kalends),
— Rumina (Rumina) — “the Nourisher.”
Together with Jupiter and Minerva, Juno formed the Capitoline Triad, to whom a temple was dedicated on the Capitoline Hill.
Juno was invoked during marriage ceremonies and honored with offerings of gratitude.
In the provinces of the Roman Empire, Juno was often identified with local goddesses who had similar roles. In philosophical interpretations, she was also associated with the elements of earth or air, positioned below Jupiter, who represented the ether.🌟🎨✨
