| ALITTA.
"The Child-bearing." In ch. 131, Book i.
Herodotus says, "the Arabians call Venus Alitta, and the
Assyrians call Venus Mylitta;"
and this he confirms in ch. 199. Like the Alitta of the
Arabs, Mylitta corresponded to Lucina, who presided over
child-birth. Both these names are Semitic, and are derived from weled,
walada, "to bear children." (Mulatto is from the
past participle of the same verb.). (The History of Herodotus,
Rawlinson, v.2, 1889).
