to Artemis (who, by the way, is the counterpart of Diana); the article explicitly states that she is a three-faced goddess of crossroads, exactly like Hecate. I'm also going to remove the section about the poem, as it already has its own page that is noted on the disambiguation page for Trivia.--The Great Honker 18:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diana was also considered to be a goddess of the crossroads, which is probably why she was conflated with Hecate in the first place (or, maybe more likely, Hecate picked up her association with crossroads thanks to being merged with Diana, who did not have a separate name for her "underworld" aspect at the time). I can't find any sources that seriously discuss Trivia as anything but an epithet of Diana, I don't think she was ever a goddess in her own right. If you have any sources to the contrary please add them! Dinoguy2 (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Epithet of Diana

[edit]

Every scholarly source I can find treats Trivia as an epithet of Diana and or Hecate. Other than a few pop encyclopedias, are there any reliable sources treating her as a distinct goddess? If not this seems like it should be a redirect. Dinoguy2 (talk) 23:39, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
