ANAHITA (آناهیتا). Persian
name meaning "pure, spotless." In mythology, this is the name of
a goddess of fertility and water. Other forms include Armenian Anahid, Greek Anaïtis,
Egyptian Anit.
... She was the personification of
the pure waters in nature, that were supposed to flow from Mount
Hakairya, and that fertilized the earth, as being derived from Ahura-Mazda.
She is often identified with Diana, and also with the so-called Syrian
Venus, whose worship was celebrated with most licentious rites all over
the East and West, as far as the Canaanitish worship reached, in Malta,
at Carthage, and in Spain... (The Life and Times of S. Gregory the
Illuminator, Malan, 1868)
