[edit] Minerva outside of Italy
Perhaps this should gain a mention - I note my home town of Harlow has one of the only major temples to minerva outside of Italy and since in 1st/2nd century the area was militarily controlled could this be an example of minerva the war goddess being worshiped outside of Rome?Meklin 12:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
On Modern Minerva - I corrected the item about Minerva at SUNY Albany. She now stands In the Library and not outside of it. Could not verify that she has a dog at her side so edited out the folklore about the dog paw. Go here for info on Minerva at SUNYA: http://www.albany.edu/main/features/2003/04-03/minerva/minervafacts.htm It would be nice to maybe add a photo of her statue but I don't quite know how to do that yet.Lisapollison 16:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wisdom god/dess cetegory
This page was categorized both under Category:Wisdom goddesses and Category:Wisdom gods. Since both are subcategories of Category:Wisdom deities, I removed the "Wisdom gods" category. — Anna Kucsma 20:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Etruscan connection
Misinformed text: "The name "Minerva" is likely imported from the Etruscans who called her Menrva." There was no "importation": Roman culture developed quite directly out of Etruscan culture. --Wetman 02:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- I believe you but can you please cite your source in the article? (not here) I'll wait to add a citation need tag.Lisapollison 07:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
