 One thing about the ancient Greek and Roman mythologies is that by having a god for every kind of negative feeling, they become more aware of that entire landscape, whereas, with the modern-day habit of never speaking about these bad gods, people often are aware only of main emotions, apathy, grief, fear, lust, anger, pride and perhaps one or two more. And as a result the other bad feelings, by never coming into conscious awareness, fester in the unconscious wreaking all kinds of havoc. I just learned of this Goddess (images of her are on Google). I always wondered how prevalent anxiety was in ancient times. Apparently, it rose to the level of having a Goddess assigned to it.
