Fornax (mythology) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fornax (mythology)
In ancient Roman religion, Fornax was the divine personification of the oven ''(fornax)''. Her festival, the Fornacalia, was celebrated on February 17 among the thirty ''curiae'', the most ancient divisions of the city made by Romulus from the original three tribes of Rome. The Fornacalia was the second of two festivals involving the ''curiae'', the other being the Fordicidia on April 19.〔William Warde Fowler, ''The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic'' (London, 1908), pp. 71 and 303; Christopher John Smith, ''The Roman Clan: The'' gens ''from Ancient Ideology to Modern Anthropology'' (Cambridge University Press, 2006), pp. 206–207.〕 The goddess was probably conceived of to explain the festival, which was instituted for toasting the spelt (Latin ''far'') used to bake sacrificial cakes.〔Smith, ''The Roman Clan'', p. 206.〕 ==Ancient sources==
