Description | The goddess Juno is traditionally represented as a very powerful creature in Roman literature, who is caring for stable human relationships, especially between men and women; and, at the same time, is often depicted as a jealous, furious, even a vengeful goddess. The aim of the konference paper is to illustrate, how Martianus Capella depicts the goddess Juno, to what extent his portrait conforms to the literary tradition, where does he differ from it and for what reasons, if compared with other authors across particular genres and gods treated. |
