REITIA - Dea dei Veneti

Saggio mitologico sulla Dea somma degli antichi Veneti.

By the ancient peoples of Europe the most important god was always a male god. By contrast in some regions the main god was female: in this regions where living Venetic people. Reitia is the goddess of the key and her sacred animals are wolf and duck; she was worshipped not only in High Adria but also in Retia, today Tirol (Austria), and in Retia Secunda or Vindelicia today lower Germany (Bayern). In Baltic region, between East Germany and Poland, the main goddess was Razivia; in the lake of Bled, in Slovenia, they say was worshipped Ziva (Jiva). Homer tell us that the Veneti were coming from the Paflagonia, Northern region of Anatolia, and in Paflagonia the main god was Cybele: Cybele is called Rea and by the way in the near island of Samotracia was present a goddess called Retia, wife of the Northern god Apollo.

The Iliad of Homer was a Venetic poem? This is a curious question?
We can suspect it only by the genealogical point of view: in fact Pelope, king of the city of Enete in the Venetic region of Paflagonia, was the grandfather of Agamennon, the winner of Troy.... and Homer called Elleni, that is Greeks, only the people of Akilles not at all the people of Agamennon.
