Question

This goddess’s name possibly derives from a frog-headed Egyptian fertility goddess. Zeus’s hand holds this goddess on coins issued by Agathocles I of Bactria, reflecting the Theogony’s claim that Zeus “honored [this goddess] above all.” (-5[1])This goddess adopted the servant Galanthias after she was punished by (-5[1])Hera for facilitating Heracles’s birth by being turned into this goddess’s sacred animal, the weasel or polecat. (10[2])Along with the (10[1])Lampades, this goddess controls succubus-like creatures with one (10[1])copper leg known as empousai. Like Diana, (10[2])this torch-wielding goddess was given (10[1])the epithet Trivia in her role as a triple goddess. Dogs were often sacrificed to this goddess at crossroads. For 10 (10[1]-5[1])points, Medea was a priestess of what Greek goddess of (10[1])magic and witchcraft? ■END■ (10[3]0[2])
