Titles/Variants, etc:
• Also called Arctos, She-Bear, below.
• She was absorbed by, and the variant form of Her name adopted as a sur-title of, Artemis, High-source-of-Water, or else She was considered a hunting nymph, companion of Artemis.
• Atalanta, Unswaying, (Who is linked with the Heliades, Daughters-of-the-Sun), also comes from Arcadia and is associated with bears.
• Compare with Brauronia, Queen-of-Bears, below, in Her connection with bears.
• Variant: Calliste, and the form of Artemis' sur-title.
• She may have been Christianised as Saint-Cecilia, Lily-of-Heaven, below.
• Daughter of Cyllene, {Rolling-Queen}, below.
• The Ursa-Major constellation was also called Helice, That-Which-Turns.
• Arcas (or Arcus) was reared by Maia, Wise-One, (Who is linked with the Pleiades, Sailing-Ones), after the death of Callisto, Fairest.

Geography/Culture: Greek.
Description: {Eponym of the Arctic?}.

Titles/Variants, etc:
• Sur-title of Artemis, High-Source-of-Water, (Artemis-Calliste).

Geography/Culture: Greek: at Brauron (37.8n x 24e), in Attica.
Description: Goddess of wild animals; {Eponym of Brauron}.
(The institution of Her worship was intended to appease Artemis' wrath at the killing of a bear.)
To Whom Sacred: she-bear; the bear in general; the colour saffron-yellow (some say in honour of the moon).
Festivals: Artemis-Brauronia: The Arkteia bear dance, performed during Her festival by girls, who were themselves called 'bears', between five and ten years old dressed, originally in bear-skins, later, in saffron-robes -- here saffron evidently symbolizes the original bear-skins.

Titles/Variants, etc:
• Title of Artemis, High-source-of-Water.
• It would seem that this aspect of Artemis must be related to Her usurpation of the name and concept of Callisto, Fairest, above.
• It is sometimes said that the sacrifice of Iphigeneia, Mothering-a-Strong-Race, took place at Brauron (instead of Aulis), and that a bear was substituted for Her.

Geography/Culture: Roman: Christian. She was made a saint in 545 CE.
Linguistic Note: I find Lily-of-Heaven in WEMS without an etymology, described as 'an ancient title of the Goddess'. Dont know where I found Musical, it would seem to be after the fact. For Blind and Dim-Sighted, see Sighle-na-Gcioch Linguistic Note, Blind-One-of-the-Breasts
Description: Matroness of musicians and the blind.
Compiler's Note: The hagiology of the Catholic Saint Cecilia is scant. Her association with music is based on a passing notice in her legend that she praised God with both instrumental and vocal music. Her association with blindness comes from an etymology which derives her name from Latin caecus, 'blind, dim-sighted'. I have found a definition of Her name as 'Musical', but without any etymology to back it up this appears to be after the fact.
Invocations, Pleas, Hymns and Other Homage to HER: Cecilia.
To Whom Sacred: the pipe-organ, and other instruments.
Festival: Nov 22.

Titles/Variants, etc:
• As many early saints, Cecilia may have Goddess antecedents, Calliope, She-of-the-Beautiful-Voice, seems a distinct possibility, besides Callisto.
  
• Some say She was renamed Cecilia from a Roman catacomb bearing the name Calliste, {Fairest}, above. But it seems rather unlikely, see compiler's note, below.
• Christian fore-title Saint.

Geography/Culture: Greek: Arcadia, especially Mount Cyllene.
Linguistic Note: Perhaps from kappa-upsilon-lambda-iota-nu-delta-omega, (külindo), 'to roll, roll along' or 'down'. 2. 'To be whirled round on a wheel'. 3. 'to roam to an fro, wander about'. 4. of time, 'to roll by'. Robert Graves derives Her name from Cylle-Ana, 'the curved', or 'crooked Queen'. Related English word: Cylinder (kappa-upsilon-lambda-iota-nu-delta-rho-omicron-sigma, (kylindros), 'a roller, cylinder').
Description: Goddess of the moon; Nymph and Eponym of Mount Cyllene.
To Whom Sacred: torch; crescent.
Male Associate: She was the nurse of Hermes.

Titles/Variants, etc:
• Title of Artemis, High-Source-of-Water, as moon Goddess.
• Perhaps an alternate name for, and certainly to be associated with, Maia, Wise-One, (one of the Pleiades, Sailing-Ones), Who was the Mother of Hermes.
• The Pleiades, Sailing-Ones, are also associated with Mount Cyllene.
