(Opis: Abundance) Roman Goddess of
plenty, of the harvest, and of wealth. Her name refers
to the bounty of the Earth and the riches of a plentiful
harvest.
Surviving evidence suggests to scholars that the
people of Rome worshiped Ops as the consort or wife
of Consus, the god of storage, or as the cult partner
of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture. Ops was,
perhaps, the mother of Juno, Roman goddess of
childbirth and queen of the heavens.
Ops was honored with Consus in the harvest
festivals of August 21 and 25 and in a celebration on
December 19. Eventually, Ops took on the characteristics
and stories of the Greek goddess Rhea.
