Adeona

/ˌædiˈoʊnə/ noun

Definition

In Roman mythology, a goddess who presides over the return of those traveling away from home, symbolizing safe homecoming.

Etymology

From Latin 'adeo' (to arrive at) + feminine suffix, making her name literally mean 'she who arrives at'—paired with Abeona (goddess of departure), she represents the complete journey.

Kelly Says

The Romans had such specific gods that there were separate deities for leaving your house (Abeona) and coming home (Adeona)—they essentially had a goddess for both sides of a car trip, showing how granular their religious concepts became.
