We - in Austria - see "Astraea" as the roman goddess of justice, known as Dike in greek mythology. -- ys Robodoc.at 17:57, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Confusing

...is the mythology that explains that she ruled in the Golden Age up to and into the Iron Age, when she fled the evils of the world and went into Heaven (Olympos-something?)... except: 1. there are two intervening ages: the Silver Age and the Bronze Age, 2. according to the myth, she fled from the evil Bronze Age men Hyginus Astronomica: "Virgin" (Brazen), that Zeus drowned in the Deucalionic Deluge. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 10:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Astraea (mythology) → Astraea
Astraea → Astraea (disambiguation)

– Another clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC that should be moved to the main namespace due to historical precedence. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:17, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"...Rosaura (an anagram for 'dawns')..."?

Under the heading "In literature", the second sentence of the third paragraph includes this claim: "...Calderón has a character named Rosaura (an anagram for 'dawns')..." This is nonsensical. "Rosaura" is not anagrammatic for "dawns"; they only share "s" and "a". Can anyone explain? Bricology (talk) 20:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bricology The Latin word for dawn is Aurora. Therefore Dawns (Auroras) is an anagram of Rosaura. Wikifan153 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But "A-U-R-O-R-A" is not anagrammatic for "R-O-S-A-U-R-A"; there is no "s" in "aurora". And before you suggest that it's the plural form: plural for "aurora" isn't "auroras", it's "aurorae".
