WHAT DOES CAMENAE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Camenae

Camenae

In Roman mythology, the Camenae were originally goddesses of childbirth, wells and fountains, and also prophetic deities. There were four Camenae: ▪ Carmenta, or CarmentisEgeria, or Ægeria, or AegeriaAntevorta, or PorrimaPostverta, or Postvorta, or Prorsa The last two were sometimes specifically referred to as the Carmentae, and in ancient times might have been two aspects of Carmenta rather than separate figures; in later times, however, they are distinct beings believed to protect women in labour. Carmenta was chief among the nymphs. Her festival day, the Carmentalia, featured water ritually drawn by Vestal Virgins from the spring outside the Porta Capena. The Camenae were later identified with the Greek Muses; in his translation of Homer's Odyssey, Livius Andronicus rendered the Greek word Mousa as Camena.
