BENDIS

Mythology:

BENDIS was the ancient Thraco-Dacian goddess of the moon and hunting. 

Bendis is so primordial that her origins are lost in the mists of time. Thracian brought her to Greece, where she became very popular during Plato’s time. The Greeks identified Her with Artemis and Hecate. She had various festivals throughout the year: two were celebrated at the full moons just preceding or coinciding with the solstices. Her festival the Bendidaea, featured ecstatic dancing, sexual rites, and nightly footraces with torches.
