Trivia the Roman Goddess

Trivia in Roman mythology was the goddess who "haunted crossroads, graveyards, and was the goddess of sorcery and witchcraft, wandered about at night, and was seen only by the barking of dogs who told of her approach" She was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Hecate , the goddess of  witchcraft, the three-way crossroads, and the harvest moon. Trivia is also considered another name for Diana as the guardian of the meeting of three roads. She was an underworld Titan-goddess who assisted Jove in the Titanomachy and was therefore able to keep her powers. She was a friend of  Ceres and helped her find Ceres' daughter Proserpina. As a part of her role as an underworld goddess, she was known as the Queen of Ghosts. Although she helped Ceres find her daughter, she was also known to steal young maidens to assist her in her powers. These women later became nymphs. One of the most famous was phoebe, a daughter of Helios. References to Trivia can be found in Virgil's Aeneid and Ovid's Metamorphoses....
