Description

Roman goddess of war, protector of the Motherland and associated with the underworld

Bellona is a purely Roman goddess, she has no analogue in Ancient Greece, and it was to her that the duties of the goddess Minerva were partially transferred. Although the goddess of war Enyo is mentioned in Greek mythology, there is very little information about her, so I believe that Bellona was born in Rome. By the way, her parents are Juno and Jupiter, although how can the daughter of the lords of the gods and heavens be connected with the underworld? In general, her attribute is considered to be a torch, which may hint at precisely this connection. She is also the sister and in some sources the wife of Mars, but for me this is not the case. Bellona and Mars once quarreled and in this dispute Bellona turned out to be right and Mars, out of anger, told the mortal couple that he wanted to teach her a lesson, but the mortals misunderstood, so Bellona began to be considered the wife of Mars. . . But to be honest, it's hard to make her angry and impress her, she has such a calm personality, although I don't recommend trying to make her angry, she is the goddess of war after all. She has demigod children such as Sofya Alekseevna, the sister of the first Russian Emperor Peter the Great.
