Diana was originally considered to be a goddess of the wilderness and of the hunt, a central sport in both Roman and Greek culture.<a href="#cite_note-Poulsen_sanctuaries-13">[12]</a> Early Roman inscriptions to Diana celebrated her primarily as a huntress and patron of hunters. Later, in the <a href="/wiki/Hellenistic_period" title="Hellenistic period">Hellenistic period</a>, Diana came to be equally or more revered as a goddess not of the wild woodland but of the "tame" countryside, or <a href="/wiki/Villa_rustica" title="Villa rustica">villa rustica</a>, the idealization of which was common in Greek thought and poetry. This dual role as goddess of both civilization and the wild, and therefore the civilized countryside, first applied to the Greek goddess <a href="/wiki/Artemis" title="Artemis">Artemis</a> (for example, in the 3rd century BCE poetry of <a href="/wiki/Anacreon" title="Anacreon">Anacreon</a>).<a href="#cite_note-roman_lyric-14">[13]</a> By the 3rd century CE, after Greek influence had a profound impact on Roman religion, Diana had been almost fully combined with Artemis and took on many of her attributes, both in her spiritual domains and in the description of her appearance. The Roman poet <a href="/wiki/Nemesianus" title="Nemesianus">Nemesianus</a> wrote a typical description of Diana: She carried a bow and a quiver full of golden arrows, wore a golden cloak, purple half-boots, and a belt with a jeweled buckle to hold her tunic together, and wore her hair gathered in a ribbon.<a href="#cite_note-Poulsen_sanctuaries-13">[12]</a> By the 5th century CE, almost a millennia after her cult's entry into Rome, the philosopher <a href="/wiki/Proclus" title="Proclus">Proclus</a> could still characterize Diana as "the inspective guardian of every thing rural, [who] represses every thing rustic and uncultivated."<a href="#cite_note-proclus_7-15">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="As_a_triple_goddess">As a triple goddess</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: As a triple goddess">edit</a>]</div> Diana was often considered an aspect of a <a href="/wiki/Triple_deity" title="Triple deity">triple goddess</a>, known as Diana triformis: Diana, <a href="/wiki/Luna_(goddess)" title="Luna (goddess)">Luna</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hecate" title="Hecate">Hecate</a>.

Accoleius Lariscolus in 43 BCE, has been acknowledged as representing an archaic statue of Diana Nemorensis.<a href="#cite_note-alfoldi-18">[17]</a> It represents Artemis with the bow at one extremity, Luna-Selene with flowers at the other and a central deity not immediately identifiable, all united by a horizontal bar. The iconographical analysis allows the dating of this image to the 6th century at which time there are Etruscan models. The coin shows that the triple goddess cult image still stood in the lucus of Nemi in 43 BCE. Lake Nemi was called Triviae lacus by Virgil (Aeneid 7.516), while <a href="/wiki/Horace" title="Horace">Horace</a> called Diana montium custos nemoremque virgo ("keeper of the mountains and virgin of Nemi") and diva triformis ("three-form goddess").<a href="#cite_note-19">[18]</a> Two heads found in the sanctuary<a href="#cite_note-20">[19]</a> and the Roman theatre at Nemi, which have a hollow on their back, lend support to this interpretation of an archaic triple Diana.<a href="#cite_note-21">[20]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="As_goddess_of_crossroads_and_the_underworld">As goddess of crossroads and the underworld</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: As goddess of crossroads and the underworld">edit</a>]</div> The earliest epithet of Diana was Trivia, and she was addressed with that title by Virgil,<a href="#cite_note-22">[21]</a> Catullus,<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a> and many others. "Trivia" comes from the Latin trivium, "triple way", and refers to Diana's guardianship over roadways, particularly Y-junctions or three-way crossroads. This role carried a somewhat dark and dangerous connotation, as it metaphorically pointed the way to the underworld.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> In the 1st-century CE play <a href="/wiki/Medea_(Seneca)" title="Medea (Seneca)">Medea</a>, <a href="/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger" title="Seneca the Younger">Seneca's</a> titular sorceress calls on Trivia to cast a magic spell. She evokes the triple goddess of Diana, Selene, and Hecate, and specifies that she requires the powers of the latter.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> The 1st century poet <a href="/wiki/Horace" title="Horace">Horace</a> similarly wrote of a magic incantation invoking the power of both Diana and Proserpina.<a href="#cite_note-epode17-24">[23]</a> The symbol of the crossroads is relevant to several aspects of Diana's domain. It can symbolize the paths hunters may encounter in the forest, lit only by the full moon; this symbolizes making choices "in the dark" without the light of guidance.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> Diana's role as a goddess of the underworld, or at least of ushering people between life and death, caused her early on to be conflated with <a href="/wiki/Hecate" title="Hecate">Hecate</a> (and occasionally also with <a href="/wiki/Proserpina" title="Proserpina">Proserpina</a>). However, her role as an underworld goddess appears to pre-date strong Greek influence (though the early Greek colony of <a href="/wiki/Cumae" title="Cumae">Cumae</a> had a cult of Hekate and certainly had contacts with the Latins<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a>). A theater in her sanctuary at Lake Nemi included a pit and tunnel that would have allowed actors to easily descend on one side of the stage and ascend on the other, indicating a connection between the phases of the moon and a descent by the moon goddess into the underworld.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> It is likely that her underworld aspect in her original Latin worship did not have a distinct name, like Luna was for her moon aspect. This is due to a seeming reluctance or taboo by the early Latins to name underworld deities, and the fact that they believed the underworld to be silent, precluding naming. Hekate, a Greek goddess also associated with the boundary between the earth and the underworld, became attached to Diana as a name for her underworld aspect following Greek influence.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="As_goddess_of_childbirth">As goddess of childbirth</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: As goddess of childbirth">edit</a>]</div> Diana was often considered to be a goddess associated with fertility and childbirth, and the protection of women during labor. This probably arose as an extension of her association with the moon, whose cycles were believed to parallel the menstrual cycle, and which was used to track the months during pregnancy.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> At her shrine in Aricia, worshipers left votive terracotta offerings for the goddess in the shapes of babies and wombs, and the temple there also offered care of pups and pregnant dogs. This care of infants also extended to the training of both young people and dogs, especially for hunting.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> In her role as a protector of childbirth, Diana was called Diana <a href="/wiki/Lucina_(mythology)" title="Lucina (mythology)">Lucina</a>, Diana Lucifera or even <a href="/wiki/Juno_Lucina" class="mw-redirect" title="Juno Lucina">Juno Lucina</a>, because her domain overlapped with that of the goddess Juno. The title of Juno may also have had an independent origin as it applied to Diana, with the literal meaning of "helper" – Diana as Juno Lucina would be the "helper of childbirth".<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="As_a_"frame_god"">As a "frame god"</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: As a "frame god"">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mengs,_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Mengs%2C_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg/220px-Mengs%2C_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="237" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Mengs%2C_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg/330px-Mengs%2C_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Mengs%2C_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg/440px-Mengs%2C_Diana_als_Personifikation_der_Nacht.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2185" data-file-height="2357" /></a><figcaption>Diana as Personification of the Night. <a href="/wiki/Anton_Raphael_Mengs" title="Anton Raphael Mengs">Anton Raphael Mengs</a>, c. 1765.</figcaption></figure> According to a theory proposed by <a href="/wiki/Georges_Dum%C3%A9zil" title="Georges Dumézil">Georges Dumézil</a>, Diana falls into a particular subset of celestial gods, referred to in histories of religion as frame gods. Such gods, while keeping the original features of celestial divinities (i.e. transcendent heavenly power and abstention from direct rule in worldly matters), did not share the fate of other celestial gods in Indoeuropean religions – that of becoming dei otiosi, or gods without practical purpose,<a href="#cite_note-26">[25]</a> since they did retain a particular sort of influence over the world and mankind.<a href="#cite_note-27">[26]</a> The celestial character of Diana is reflected in her connection with inaccessibility, virginity, light, and her preference for dwelling on high mountains and in sacred woods. Diana, therefore, reflects the heavenly world in its sovereignty, supremacy, impassibility, and indifference towards such secular matters as the fates of mortals and states. At the same time, however, she is seen as active in ensuring the succession of kings and in the preservation of humankind through the protection of childbirth.<a href="#cite_note-Artemis-28">[27]</a> These functions are apparent in the traditional institutions and cults related to the goddess: <ol><li>The legend of the <a href="/wiki/Rex_Nemorensis" title="Rex Nemorensis">rex Nemorensis</a>, Diana's sacerdos (priest) in the Arician wood, who held the position until someone else challenged and killed him in a duel, after breaking a branch from a certain tree of the wood. This ever open succession reveals the character and mission of the goddess as a guarantor of kingly status through successive generations.<a href="#cite_note-OvidFasti-29">[28]</a> Her function as bestower of authority to rule is also attested in the story related by Livy in which a Sabine man who sacrifices a <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/heifer" class="extiw" title="wikt:heifer">heifer</a> to Diana wins for his country the seat of the Roman empire.<a href="#cite_note-30">[29]</a></li> <li>Diana was also worshiped by women who wanted to be pregnant or who, once pregnant, prayed for an easy delivery. This form of worship is attested in archaeological finds of votive statuettes in her sanctuary in the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Nemus_Aricinum&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Nemus Aricinum (page does not exist)">nemus Aricinum</a> as well as in ancient sources, e.g. Ovid.<a href="#cite_note-OvidFasti-29">[28]</a></li></ol> According to Dumezil, the forerunner of all frame gods is an Indian epic hero who was the image (<a href="/wiki/Avatar" title="Avatar">avatar</a>) of the Vedic god Dyaus. Having renounced the world, in his roles of father and king, he attained the status of an immortal being while retaining the duty of ensuring that his dynasty is preserved and that there is always a new king for each generation. The Scandinavian god <a href="/wiki/Heimdallr" class="mw-redirect" title="Heimdallr">Heimdallr</a> performs an analogous function: he is born first and will die last. He too gives origin to kingship and the first king, bestowing on him regal prerogatives. Diana, although a female deity, has exactly the same functions, preserving mankind through childbirth and royal succession. F. H.

At the time Rome was founded, Diana and the other major Roman gods probably did not have much mythology per se, or any depictions in human form. The idea of gods as having <a href="/wiki/Anthropomorphism" title="Anthropomorphism">anthropomorphic</a> qualities and human-like personalities and actions developed later, under the influence of Greek and Etruscan religion.<a href="#cite_note-novaroma-31">[30]</a> By the 3rd century BCE, Diana is found listed among the twelve major gods of the Roman pantheon by the poet <a href="/wiki/Ennius" title="Ennius">Ennius</a>. Though the <a href="/wiki/Capitoline_Triad" title="Capitoline Triad">Capitoline Triad</a> were the primary state gods of Rome, early Roman myth did not assign a strict hierarchy to the gods the way Greek mythology did, though the Greek hierarchy would eventually be adopted by Roman religion as well.<a href="#cite_note-novaroma-31">[30]</a> Once Greek influence had caused Diana to be considered identical to the Greek goddess <a href="/wiki/Artemis" title="Artemis">Artemis</a>, Diana acquired Artemis's physical description, attributes, and variants of her myths as well. Like Artemis, Diana is usually depicted in art wearing a women's chiton, shortened in the <a href="/wiki/Kolpos" title="Kolpos">kolpos</a> style to facilitate mobility during hunting, with a hunting bow and quiver, and often accompanied by hunting dogs. A 1st-century BCE Roman coin (see above) depicted her with a unique, short hairstyle, and in triple form, with one form holding a bow and another holding a <a href="/wiki/Poppy" title="Poppy">poppy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Family">Family</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Family">edit</a>]</div> When worship of Apollo was first introduced to Rome, Diana became conflated with Apollo's sister Artemis as in the earlier Greek myths, and as such she became identified as the daughter of Apollo's parents Latona and Jupiter. Though Diana was usually considered to be a virgin goddess like Artemis, later authors sometimes attributed consorts and children to her. According to <a href="/wiki/Cicero" title="Cicero">Cicero</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ennius" title="Ennius">Ennius</a>, Trivia (an epithet of Diana) and <a href="/wiki/Caelus" title="Caelus">Caelus</a> were the parents of <a href="/wiki/Janus_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Janus (mythology)">Janus</a>, as well as of <a href="/wiki/Saturn_(mythology)" title="Saturn (mythology)">Saturn</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ops" title="Ops">Ops</a>.<a href="#cite_note-32">[31]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Macrobius" title="Macrobius">Macrobius</a> (who cited <a href="/wiki/Nigidius_Figulus" title="Nigidius Figulus">Nigidius Figulus</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cicero" title="Cicero">Cicero</a>), <a href="/wiki/Janus" title="Janus">Janus</a> and Jana (Diana) are a pair of divinities, worshiped as the <a href="/wiki/Sol_(Roman_mythology)" title="Sol (Roman mythology)">sun</a> and <a href="/wiki/Luna_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Luna (mythology)">moon</a>.

Possibly the most well-known of these is the myth of <a href="/wiki/Actaeon" title="Actaeon">Actaeon</a>. In <a href="/wiki/Ovid" title="Ovid">Ovid</a>'s version of this myth, part of his poem <a href="/wiki/Metamorphoses" title="Metamorphoses">Metamorphoses</a>, he tells of a pool or grotto hidden in the wooded valley of Gargaphie. There, Diana, the goddess of the woods, would bathe and rest after a hunt. Actaeon, a young hunter, stumbled across the grotto and accidentally witnessed the goddess bathing without invitation. In retaliation, Diana splashed him with water from the pool, cursing him, and he transformed into a deer. His own hunting dogs caught his scent, and tore him apart.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> Ovid's version of the myth of Actaeon differs from most earlier sources. Unlike earlier myths about Artemis, Actaeon is killed for an innocent mistake, glimpsing Diana bathing. An earlier variant of this myth, known as the Bath of <a href="/wiki/Athena" title="Athena">Pallas</a>, had the hunter intentionally spy on the bathing goddess Pallas (Athena), and earlier versions of the myth involving Artemis did not involve the bath at all.<a href="#cite_note-diana_actaeon-34">[33]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Worship_in_the_classical_period">Worship in the classical period</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Worship in the classical period">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg/220px-Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg/330px-Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg/440px-Scene_of_sacrifice_in_honour_of_Diana._Fresco_from_the_triclinium_of_House_of_the_Vettii_in_Pompeii.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="811" /></a><figcaption>An ancient <a href="/wiki/Pompeian_Styles" title="Pompeian Styles">Fourth-Pompeian-Style</a> <a href="/wiki/Roman_art" title="Roman art">Roman wall painting</a> depicting a scene of sacrifice in honor of the <a href="/wiki/Goddess_Diana" class="mw-redirect" title="Goddess Diana">goddess Diana</a>; she is seen here accompanied by a deer.

Therefore, many sanctuaries were dedicated to her in the lands inhabited by Latins. Her primary sanctuary was a woodland grove overlooking <a href="/wiki/Lake_Nemi" title="Lake Nemi">Lake Nemi</a>, a body of water also known as "Diana's Mirror", where she was worshiped as <a href="/wiki/Diana_Nemorensis" title="Diana Nemorensis">Diana Nemorensis</a>, or "Diana of the Wood". In Rome, the cult of Diana may have been almost as old as the city itself. Varro mentions her in the list of deities to whom king <a href="/wiki/Titus_Tatius" title="Titus Tatius">Titus Tatius</a> promised to build a shrine. His list included Luna and Diana Lucina as separate entities. Another testimony to the antiquity of her cult is to be found in the lex regia of King <a href="/wiki/Tullus_Hostilius" title="Tullus Hostilius">Tullus Hostilius</a> that condemns those guilty of incest to the sacratio to Diana. She had a temple in Rome on the <a href="/wiki/Aventine_Hill" title="Aventine Hill">Aventine Hill</a>, according to tradition dedicated by king <a href="/wiki/Servius_Tullius" title="Servius Tullius">Servius Tullius</a>. Its location is remarkable as the Aventine is situated outside the <a href="/wiki/Pomerium" title="Pomerium">pomerium</a>, i.e. original territory of the city, in order to comply with the tradition that Diana was a goddess common to all Latins and not exclusively of the Romans. Being placed on the Aventine, and thus outside the <a href="/wiki/Pomerium" title="Pomerium">pomerium</a>, meant that Diana's cult essentially remained a foreign one, like that of <a href="/wiki/Dionysus" title="Dionysus">Bacchus</a>; she was never officially transferred to Rome as <a href="/wiki/Juno_(mythology)" title="Juno (mythology)">Juno</a> was after the sack of <a href="/wiki/Veii" title="Veii">Veii</a>. Other known sanctuaries and temples to Diana include Colle di Corne near <a href="/wiki/Tusculum" title="Tusculum">Tusculum</a>,<a href="#cite_note-35">[34]</a> where she is referred to with the archaic Latin name of deva Cornisca and where existed a <a href="/wiki/Collegium" class="mw-redirect" title="Collegium">collegium</a> of worshippers;<a href="#cite_note-36">[35]</a> at Évora, Portugal;<a href="#cite_note-37">[36]</a> Mount Algidus, also near Tusculum;<a href="#cite_note-38">[37]</a> at <a href="/wiki/Lavinium" title="Lavinium">Lavinium</a>;<a href="#cite_note-39">[38]</a> and at <a href="/wiki/Tibur" class="mw-redirect" title="Tibur">Tibur</a> (Tivoli), where she is referred to as Diana Opifera Nemorensis.<a href="#cite_note-40">[39]</a> Diana was also worshiped at a sacred wood mentioned by Livy<a href="#cite_note-41">[40]</a> – ad compitum Anagninum (near <a href="/wiki/Anagni" title="Anagni">Anagni</a>), and on Mount <a href="/wiki/Tifata" title="Tifata">Tifata</a> in Campania.<a href="#cite_note-42">[41]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Plutarch" title="Plutarch">Plutarch</a>, men and women alike were worshipers of Diana and were welcomed into all of her temples. The one exception seems to have been a temple on the <a href="/wiki/Vicus_Patricius" title="Vicus Patricius">Vicus Patricius</a>, which men either did not enter due to tradition, or were not allowed to enter. Plutarch related a legend that a man had attempted to assault a woman worshiping in this temple and was killed by a pack of dogs (echoing the myth of Diana and Actaeon), which resulted in a superstition against men entering the temple.<a href="#cite_note-roman_questions-43">[42]</a> A feature common to nearly all of Diana's temples and shrines by the second century CE was the hanging up of stag antlers. Plutarch noted that the only exception to this was the temple on the Aventine Hill, in which bull horns had been hung up instead. Plutarch explains this by way of reference to a legend surrounding the sacrifice of an impressive <a href="/wiki/Sabine" class="mw-redirect" title="Sabine">Sabine</a> bull by King Servius at the founding of the Aventine temple.<a href="#cite_note-roman_questions-43">[42]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sanctuary_at_Lake_Nemi">Sanctuary at Lake Nemi</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Sanctuary at Lake Nemi">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Diana_Nemorensis" title="Diana Nemorensis">Diana Nemorensis</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg/220px-John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg/330px-John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg/440px-John_Robert_Cozens_002.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2024" data-file-height="1463" /></a><figcaption>An 18th-century depiction of Lake Nemi as painted by <a href="/wiki/John_Robert_Cozens" title="John Robert Cozens">John Robert Cozens</a></figcaption></figure> Diana's worship may have originated at an open-air sanctuary overlooking <a href="/wiki/Lake_Nemi" title="Lake Nemi">Lake Nemi</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Alban_Hills" title="Alban Hills">Alban Hills</a> near <a href="/wiki/Ariccia" title="Ariccia">Aricia</a>, where she was worshiped as <a href="/wiki/Diana_Nemorensis" title="Diana Nemorensis">Diana Nemorensis</a>, or ("Diana of the Sylvan Glade").<a href="#cite_note-forest_folklore-44">[43]</a> According to legendary accounts, the sanctuary was founded by <a href="/wiki/Orestes" title="Orestes">Orestes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Iphigenia" title="Iphigenia">Iphigenia</a> after they fled from the <a href="/wiki/Tauri" title="Tauri">Tauri</a>.

(Statius Silv. 3.I.52–60)</dd></dl> Statius describes the triple nature of the goddess by invoking heavenly (the stars), earthly (the grove itself) and underworld (Hecate) imagery. He also suggests by the garlanding of the dogs and polishing of the spears that no hunting was allowed during the festival.<a href="#cite_note-diana_religion-6">[5]</a> Legend has it that Diana's high priest at Nemi, known as the <a href="/wiki/Rex_Nemorensis" title="Rex Nemorensis">Rex Nemorensis</a>, was always an escaped slave who could only obtain the position by defeating his predecessor in a fight to the death.<a href="#cite_note-forest_folklore-44">[43]</a> Sir <a href="/wiki/James_George_Frazer" title="James George Frazer">James George Frazer</a> wrote of this sacred grove in <a href="/wiki/The_Golden_Bough" title="The Golden Bough">The Golden Bough</a>, basing his interpretation on brief remarks in <a href="/wiki/Strabo" title="Strabo">Strabo</a> (5.3.12), <a href="/wiki/Pausanias_(geographer)" title="Pausanias (geographer)">Pausanias</a> (2,27.24) and <a href="/wiki/Maurus_Servius_Honoratus" class="mw-redirect" title="Maurus Servius Honoratus">Servius</a>' commentary on the <a href="/wiki/Aeneid" title="Aeneid">Aeneid</a> (6.136).

According to the Roman historian <a href="/wiki/Livy" title="Livy">Livy</a>, the construction of this temple began in the 6th century BCE and was inspired by stories of the massive <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Artemis" title="Temple of Artemis">Temple of Artemis</a> at <a href="/wiki/Ephesus" title="Ephesus">Ephesus</a>, which was said to have been built through the combined efforts of all the cities of <a href="/wiki/Asia_Minor" class="mw-redirect" title="Asia Minor">Asia Minor</a>.

One of these was built in the <a href="/wiki/Campus_Martius" title="Campus Martius">Campus Martius</a> in 187 BCE; no Imperial period records of this temple have been found, and it is possible it was one of the temples demolished around 55 BCE in order to build a theater.<a href="#cite_note-carlsen-45">[44]</a> Diana also had a public temple on the <a href="/wiki/Quirinal_Hill" title="Quirinal Hill">Quirinal Hill</a>, the sanctuary of Diana Planciana.

Other family-derived named attested in the ancient literature include Diana Cariciana, Diana Valeriana, and Diana Plancia. As a house goddess, Diana often became reduced in stature compared to her official worship by the Roman state religion. In personal or family worship, Diana was brought to the level of other household spirits, and was believed to have a vested interest in the prosperity of the household and the continuation of the family. The Roman poet <a href="/wiki/Horace" title="Horace">Horace</a> regarded Diana as a household goddess in his <a href="/wiki/Odes_(Horace)" title="Odes (Horace)">Odes</a>, and had an altar dedicated to her in his villa where household worship could be conducted.

Within this system, <a href="/wiki/Proclus" title="Proclus">Proclus</a> considered Diana to be one of the primary animating, or life-giving, deities. Proclus, citing Orphic tradition, concludes that Diana "presides over all the generation in nature, and is the midwife of physical productive principles" and that she "extends these genitals, distributing as far as to subterranean natures the prolific power of [Bacchus]."<a href="#cite_note-proclus_7-15">[14]</a> Specifically, Proclus considered the life-generating principle of the highest order, within the Intellectual realm, to be <a href="/wiki/Rhea_(mythology)" title="Rhea (mythology)">Rhea</a>, whom he identified with Ceres. Within her divinity was produced the cause of the basic principle of life. Projecting this principle into the lower, Hypercosmic realm of reality generated a lower monad, <a href="/wiki/Persephone" title="Persephone">Kore</a>, who could therefore be understood as Ceres' "daughter". Kore embodied the "maidenly" principle of generation that, more importantly, included a principle of division – where Demeter generates life indiscriminately, Kore distributes it individually. This division results in another triad or trinity, known as the Maidenly trinity, within the monad of Kore: namely, Diana, Proserpine, and Minerva, through whom individual living beings are given life and perfected. Specifically, according to a commentary by scholar Spyridon Rangos, Diana (equated with Hecate) gives existence, Proserpine (equated with "Soul") gives form, and Minerva (equated with "Virtue") gives intellect.<a href="#cite_note-rangos-80">[79]</a> In his commentary on Proclus, the 19th century Platonist scholar Thomas Taylor expanded upon the theology of the classical philosophers, further interpreting the nature and roles of the gods in light of the whole body of Neoplatonist philosophy. He cites Plato in giving a three-form aspect to her central characteristic of virginity: the undefiled, the mundane, and the <a href="/wiki/Anagoge" title="Anagoge">anagogic</a>. Through the first form, Diana is regarded as a "lover of virginity". Through the second, she is the guardian of virtue. Through the third, she is considered to "hate the impulses arising from generation." Through the principle of the undefiled, Taylor suggests that she is given supremacy in Proclus' triad of life-giving or animating deities, and in this role the <a href="/wiki/Theurgy" title="Theurgy">theurgists</a> called her Hekate. In this role, Diana is granted undefiled power (Amilieti) from the other gods. This generative power does not proceed forth from the goddess (according to a statement by the <a href="/wiki/Pythia" title="Pythia">Oracle of Delphi</a>) but rather resides with her, giving her unparalleled virtue, and in this way she can be said to embody virginity.<a href="#cite_note-taylor_Proclus-81">[80]</a> Later commentators on Proclus have clarified that the virginity of Diana is not an absence of sexual drive, but a renunciation of sexuality. Diana embodies virginity because she generates but precedes active fertility (within Neoplatonism, an important maxim is that "every productive cause is superior to the nature of the produced effect").<a href="#cite_note-rangos-80">[79]</a> Using the ancient Neoplatonists as a basis, Taylor also commented on the triadic nature of Diana and related goddesses, and the ways in which they subsist within one another, partaking unevenly in each other's powers and attributes. For example, <a href="/wiki/Persephone" title="Persephone">Kore</a> is said to embody both Diana/Hecate and <a href="/wiki/Minerva_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Minerva (mythology)">Minerva</a>, who create the virtuous or virgin power within her, but also <a href="/wiki/Proserpina" title="Proserpina">Proserpine</a> (her sole traditional identification), through whom the generative power of the Kore as a whole is able to proceed forth into the world, where it joins with the <a href="/wiki/Demiurge" title="Demiurge">demiurge</a> to produce further deities, including Bacchus and "nine azure-eyed, flower-producing daughters".<a href="#cite_note-taylor_Proclus-81">[80]</a> Proclus also included Artemis/Diana in a second triad of deities, along with <a href="/wiki/Ceres_(mythology)" title="Ceres (mythology)">Ceres</a> and <a href="/wiki/Juno_(mythology)" title="Juno (mythology)">Juno</a>. According to Proclus: <dl><dd>"The life-generating triad begins with Demeter who engenders the entire encosmic life, namely intellectual life, psychic life and the life that is inseparable from body; Hera who brings forth the birth of soul occupies the cohering middle position (for the intellectual goddess outpours from herself all the processions of the psychic kinds); finally, Artemis has been assigned to the end of the trinity because she activates all the natural formative principles and perfects the self-completeness of matter; it is for this reason, namely because she supervises natural development and natural birth, that the theologians and Socrates in the Theaetetus call her Lochia."<a href="#cite_note-rangos-80">[79]</a></dd></dl> Proclus pointed to the conflict between Hera and Artemis in the Illiad as a representation of the two kinds of human souls. Where Hera creates the higher, more cultured, or "worthy" souls, Artemis brings light to and perfects the "less worthy" or less rational. As explained by Ragnos (2000), "The aspect of reality which Artemis and Hera share, and because of which they engage in a symbolic conflict, is the engendering of life." Hera elevates rational living beings up to intellectual rational existence, whereas Artemis's power pertains to human life as far as its physical existence as a living thing.

On the same hill, he found "an image of Diana which the unbelieving people worshiped as a god." According to Gregory's report, worshipers would also sing chants in Diana's honor as they drank and feasted. Vulfilaic destroyed a number of smaller pagan statues in the area, but the statue of Diana was too large. After converting some of the local population to Christianity, Vulfilaic and a group of local residents attempted to pull the large statue down the mountain in order to destroy it, but failed, as it was too large to be moved. In Vulfilaic's account, after praying for a miracle, he was then able to single-handedly pull down the statue, at which point he and his group smashed it to dust with their hammers. According to Vulfilaic, this incident was quickly followed by an outbreak of pimples or sores that covered his entire body, which he attributed to demonic activity and similarly cured via what he described as a miracle. Vulfilaic would later found a church on the site, which is today known as Mont Saint-Walfroy.<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a> Additional evidence for surviving pagan practices in the Low Countries region comes from the Vita Eligii, or "Life of <a href="/wiki/Saint_Eligius" title="Saint Eligius">Saint Eligius</a>", written by <a href="/wiki/Audoin_(bishop)" title="Audoin (bishop)">Audoin</a> in the 7th century.

Remacle believed that demonic entities were present in the spring, and had caused it to run dry. He performed and exorcism of the water source, and installed a lead pipe, which allowed the water to flow again.<a href="#cite_note-arnold-85">[84]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_"Society_of_Diana"">The "Society of Diana"</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: The "Society of Diana"">edit</a>]</div> Diana is the only pagan goddess mentioned by name in the <a href="/wiki/New_Testament" title="New Testament">New Testament</a> (only in some Bible versions of <a href="/wiki/Acts_19" title="Acts 19">Acts 19</a>; many other Bibles refer to her as <a href="/wiki/Artemis" title="Artemis">Artemis</a> instead). As a result, she became associated with many folk beliefs involving goddess-like supernatural figures that <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic</a> clergy wished to demonize. In the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>, legends of night-time processions of spirits led by a female figure are recorded in the church records of <a href="/wiki/Northern_Italy" title="Northern Italy">Northern Italy</a>, western Germany, and southern France. The spirits were said to enter houses and consume food which then miraculously re-appeared. They would sing and dance, and dispense advice regarding healing herbs and the whereabouts of lost objects. If the house was in good order, they would bring fertility and plenty. If not, they would bring curses to the family. Some women reported participating in these processions while their bodies still lay in bed. Historian <a href="/wiki/Carlo_Ginzburg" title="Carlo Ginzburg">Carlo Ginzburg</a> has referred to these legendary spirit gatherings as "The Society of Diana".<a href="#cite_note-stregheria-86">[85]</a> Local clergy complained that women believed they were following Diana or <a href="/wiki/Herodias" title="Herodias">Herodias</a>, riding out on appointed nights to join the processions or carry out instructions from the goddess.<a href="#cite_note-aradia_sardinia-87">[86]</a> The earliest reports of these legends appear in the writings of <a href="/wiki/Regino_of_Pr%C3%BCm" title="Regino of Prüm">Regino of Prüm</a> in the year 899, followed by many additional reports and variants of the legend in documents by <a href="/wiki/Ratherius" title="Ratherius">Ratherius</a> and others. By 1310, the names of the goddess figures attached to the legend were sometimes combined as Herodiana.<a href="#cite_note-aradia_sardinia-87">[86]</a> It is likely that the clergy of this time used the identification of the procession's leader as Diana or Herodias in order to fit an older folk belief into a Biblical framework, as both are featured and demonized in the New Testament. Herodias was often conflated with her daughter <a href="/wiki/Salome" title="Salome">Salome</a> in legend, which also holds that, upon being presented with the severed head of <a href="/wiki/John_the_Baptist" title="John the Baptist">John the Baptist</a>, she was blown into the air by wind from the saint's mouth, through which she continued to wander for eternity. Diana was often conflated with <a href="/wiki/Hecate" title="Hecate">Hecate</a>, a goddess associated with the spirits of the dead and with witchcraft. These associations, and the fact that both figures are attested to in the Bible, made them a natural fit for the leader of the ghostly procession. Clergy used this identification to assert that the spirits were evil, and that the women who followed them were inspired by demons. As was typical of this time period, though pagan beliefs and practices were near eliminated from Europe, the clergy and other authorities still treated paganism as a real threat, in part thanks to biblical influence; much of the Bible had been written when various forms of paganism were still active if not dominant, so medieval clergy applied the same kinds of warnings and admonitions for any non-standard folk beliefs and practices they encountered.<a href="#cite_note-aradia_sardinia-87">[86]</a> Based on analysis of church documents and parishioner confessions, it is likely that the spirit identified by the Church as Diana or Herodias was called by names of pre-Christian figures like <a href="/wiki/Holda" class="mw-redirect" title="Holda">Holda</a> (a Germanic goddess of the winter solstice), or with names referencing her bringing of prosperity, like the Latin Abundia (meaning "plenty"), Satia (meaning "full" or "plentiful") and the Italian Richella (meaning "rich").<a href="#cite_note-aradia_sardinia-87">[86]</a> Some of the local titles for her, such as bonae res (meaning "good things"), are similar to late classical titles for Hecate, like bona dea. This might indicate a cultural mixture of medieval folk ideas with holdovers from earlier pagan belief systems. Whatever her true origin, by the 13th century, the leader of the legendary spirit procession had come to be firmly identified with Diana and Herodias through the influence of the Church.<a href="#cite_note-aradia_sardinia-87">[86]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modern_development_and_folklore">Modern development and folklore</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Modern development and folklore">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Golden_Bough">The Golden Bough</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: The Golden Bough">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:(Barcelona)_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/%28Barcelona%29_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg/220px-%28Barcelona%29_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="138" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/%28Barcelona%29_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg/330px-%28Barcelona%29_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/%28Barcelona%29_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg/440px-%28Barcelona%29_The_Golden_Bough_-_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_-_Tate_Britain.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6994" data-file-height="4393" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/J._M._W._Turner" title="J.

Frazer developed his ideas in relation to <a href="/wiki/J._M._W._Turner" title="J. M. W. Turner">J. M. W. Turner</a>'s painting, also titled <a href="/wiki/The_Golden_Bough_(painting)" title="The Golden Bough (painting)">The Golden Bough</a>, depicting a dream-like vision of the woodland lake of Nemi. According to Frazer, the rex Nemorensis or king at Nemi was the incarnation of a <a href="/wiki/Life-death-rebirth_deity" class="mw-redirect" title="Life-death-rebirth deity">dying and reviving god</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Solar_deity" title="Solar deity">solar deity</a> who participated in a mystical marriage to a goddess. He died at the harvest and was reincarnated in the spring. Frazer claimed that this motif of death and rebirth is central to nearly all of the world's religions and mythologies. In Frazer's theory, Diana functioned as a goddess of fertility and childbirth, who, assisted by the sacred king, ritually returned life to the land in spring. The king in this scheme served not only as a high priest but as a god of the grove. Frazer identifies this figure with <a href="/wiki/Virbius" class="mw-redirect" title="Virbius">Virbius</a>, of which little is known, but also with <a href="/wiki/Jupiter" title="Jupiter">Jupiter</a> via an association with sacred oak trees. Frazer argued furthermore that Jupiter and Juno were simply duplicate names of Jana and <a href="/wiki/Janus" title="Janus">Janus</a>; that is, Diana and <a href="/wiki/Dianus" title="Dianus">Dianus</a>, all of whom had identical functions and origins.<a href="#cite_note-88">[87]</a> Frazer's speculatively reconstructed folklore of Diana's origins and the nature of her cult at Nemi were not well received even by his contemporaries. Godfrey Lienhardt noted that even during Frazer's lifetime, other anthropologists had "for the most part distanced themselves from his theories and opinions", and that the lasting influence of The Golden Bough and Frazer's wider body of work "has been in the literary rather than the academic world."<a href="#cite_note-Lienhardt-89">[88]</a> Robert Ackerman wrote that, for anthropologists, Frazer is "an embarrassment" for being "the most famous of them all" and that most distance themselves from his work. While The Golden Bough achieved wide "popular appeal" and exerted a "disproportionate" influence "on so many [20th century] creative writers", Frazer's ideas played "a much smaller part" in the history of academic social anthropology.<a href="#cite_note-Lienhardt-89">[88]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Gospel_of_the_Witches">The Gospel of the Witches</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Diana_(mythology)&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: The Gospel of the Witches">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa,_Vis_Museum,_Croatia.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa%2C_Vis_Museum%2C_Croatia.JPG/220px-Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa%2C_Vis_Museum%2C_Croatia.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa%2C_Vis_Museum%2C_Croatia.JPG/330px-Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa%2C_Vis_Museum%2C_Croatia.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa%2C_Vis_Museum%2C_Croatia.JPG/440px-Bust_of_the_goddess_of_Issa%2C_Vis_Museum%2C_Croatia.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="1600" /></a><figcaption>4th-century BCE <a href="/wiki/Praxiteles" title="Praxiteles">Praxitelean</a> bronze head of a goddess wearing a <a href="/wiki/Lunate" title="Lunate">lunate</a> crown, found at Issa (<a href="/wiki/Vis_(island)" title="Vis (island)">Vis</a>, Croatia)</figcaption></figure> Folk legends like the Society of Diana, which linked the goddess to forbidden gatherings of women with spirits, may have influenced later works of folklore.

In this belief system, Diana is said to have created the world of her own being having in herself the seeds of all creation yet to come. It was said that out of herself she divided the darkness and the light, keeping for herself the darkness of creation and creating her brother <a href="/wiki/Lucifer" title="Lucifer">Lucifer</a>. Diana was believed to have loved and ruled with her brother, and with him bore a daughter, <a href="/wiki/Aradia" title="Aradia">Aradia</a> (a name likely derived from Herodias), who leads and teaches the witches on earth.<a href="#cite_note-90">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-aradia_sardinia-87">[86]</a> Leland's claim that Aradia represented an authentic tradition from an underground witch-cult, which had secretly worshiped Diana since ancient times has been dismissed by most scholars of folklore, religion, and medieval history. After the 1921 publication of <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Murray" title="Margaret Murray">Margaret Murray</a>'s The Witch-cult in Western Europe, which hypothesized that the European <a href="/wiki/Witch-hunt" class="mw-redirect" title="Witch-hunt">witch trials</a> were actually a persecution of a pagan religious survival, American sensationalist author Theda Kenyon's 1929 book Witches Still Live connected Murray's thesis with the witchcraft religion in Aradia.<a href="#cite_note-Kenyon-91">[90]</a><a href="#cite_note-Clifton_62-92">[91]</a> Arguments against Murray's thesis would eventually include arguments against Leland. Witchcraft scholar <a href="/wiki/Jeffrey_Burton_Russell" title="Jeffrey Burton Russell">Jeffrey Russell</a> devoted some of his 1980 book A History of Witchcraft: Sorcerers, Heretics and Pagans to arguing against the claims Leland presented in Aradia.<a href="#cite_note-Russell-93">[92]</a> Historian Elliot Rose's A Razor for a Goat dismissed Aradia as a collection of incantations unsuccessfully attempting to portray a religion.<a href="#cite_note-Rose-94">[93]</a> In his book Triumph of the Moon, historian <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Hutton" title="Ronald Hutton">Ronald Hutton</a> doubted not only of the existence of the religion that Aradia claimed to represent, and that the traditions Leland presented were unlike anything found in actual <a href="/wiki/Medieval_literature" title="Medieval literature">medieval literature</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Hutton145-95">[94]</a> but also of the existence of Leland's sources, arguing that it is more likely that Leland created the entire story than that Leland could be so easily "duped".<a href="#cite_note-Hutton301-96">[95]</a> Religious scholar Chas S.

The Feri Tradition founded by Anderson continues to recognize Tana/Diana as an aspect of the Star Goddess related to the element of fire, and representing "the fiery womb that gives birth to and transforms all matter."<a href="#cite_note-Faerywolf-101">[100]</a> (In Aradia, Diana is also credited as the creatrix of the material world and Queen of Faeries<a href="#cite_note-gary-102">[101]</a>). A few Wiccan traditions would elevate Diana to a more prominent position of worship, and there are two distinct modern <a href="/wiki/Dianic_tradition" class="mw-redirect" title="Dianic tradition">branches of Wicca</a> focused primarily on Diana. The first, founded during the early 1970s in the United States by Morgan McFarland and Mark Roberts, has a <a href="/wiki/Second-wave_feminism" title="Second-wave feminism">feminist</a> theology and only occasionally accepts male participants, and leadership is limited to female priestesses.<a href="#cite_note-Adler1-103">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-McFarlandSite1-104">[103]</a> McFarland Dianic Wiccans base their tradition primarily on the work of <a href="/wiki/Robert_Graves" title="Robert Graves">Robert Graves</a> and his book <a href="/wiki/The_White_Goddess" title="The White Goddess">The White Goddess</a>, and were inspired by references to the existence of medieval European "Dianic cults" in <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Murray" title="Margaret Murray">Margaret Murray</a>'s book <a href="/wiki/The_Witch-Cult_in_Western_Europe" title="The Witch-Cult in Western Europe">The Witch-Cult in Western Europe</a>.<a href="#cite_note-McFarlandSite1-104">[103]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Dianic_Wicca" title="Dianic Wicca">second Dianic tradition</a>, founded by <a href="/wiki/Zsuzsanna_Budapest" title="Zsuzsanna Budapest">Zsuzsanna Budapest</a> in the mid-1970s, is characterized by an exclusive focus on the feminine aspect of the divine, and as a result is exclusively female.
