Uni (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Etruscan mythology, Uni was the supreme goddess of the pantheon. She was the patron goddess of Perugia as well. With her husband Tinia and Menrva, she was part of a powerful triumvirate. With Tinia, she was the mother of Hercle.
Uni was the Etruscan equivalent of Juno and Hera in Roman mythology and Greek mythology, respectively.
Livy states (Book V, Ab Urbe Condita) that Juno was an Etruscan goddess of the Veientes, who was ceremonially adopted into the Roman pantheon when Veii was sacked in 396BC. This seems to refer to Uni.el:Ούνι it:Uni lt:Uni nl:Uni ro:Uni sv:Uni
