Question

In the late 15th century, a marble inscription mentioning this deity was transferred from Rome to the Salerno archiepiscopal (“AR-kee-uh-PISS-kuh-pull”) complex in an antiquarian hoax involving a fake ancient temple. Ovid described this deity working with a curved tool, “not a javelin,” while listening to a story about a man who falls in love with a descendant of Teucer (“TOO-ser”) but hangs himself on her doorstep. This goddess and her partner (10[1])were venerated on an August 13th festival that marked the beginning of Autumn. After rejecting Silvanus and Picus, (10[1])this goddess was finally seduced by a god (10[1])whom Propertius (-5[1])claimed was from the Etruscan city (-5[1])of Volsinii. That god disguises himself (10[1])as an old woman (10[1])to tell (10[1])this goddess (10[1])about Anaxarete (“ah-NACKS-ah-REE-tee”), who was turned to stone after rejecting Iphis. This goddess’s symbols include the cornucopia (10[1]-5[1])and the pruning knife. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this Roman goddess (-5[1])of fruit (10[1])and orchards, (-5[2])the consort (10[1])of Vertumnus. (10[2])■END■ (10[4]0[5])
