| ENT_SCYTH_ARTIMPASA | Artimpasa | Scythian | Goddess | Love Deity | love; sky; Venus; Aphrodite Urania equivalent; divine feminine; celestial | B | Love and moon goddess; equated by Herodotus with Aphrodite Urania (Histories 4.59.2). Also spelled Argimpasa. Herodotus 4.67 describes Enárees (male priests serving her who adopted female dress), suggesting a shamanic transvestite priesthood comparable to Iranian traditions. Name possibly from Iranian *Arti-pāsa (guardian of truth/order). The choice of Aphrodite Urania (the heavenly, celestial aspect) rather than the common Aphrodite is significant. Cunliffe (2019) p. 203. | deity |
