Tamfana
In Germanic paganism, Tamfana is a goddess. The destruction of a temple dedicated to the goddess is recorded by Roman senator Tacitus to have occurred during a massacre of the Germanic Marsi by forces led by Roman general Germanicus. Scholars have analyzed the name of the goddess (without reaching consensus) and have advanced theories regarding her role in Germanic paganism.
==Attestations==
In book 1, chapters 50 and 51 of his ''Annals'', Tacitus says that forces led by Germanicus massacred the men, women, and children of the Marsi during the night of a festival near the location of a temple dedicated to Tanfana:
There is no undisputed testimony of this goddess besides the passage in Tacitus. An inscription ''Tamfanae sacrum'' was found in Terni, but is considered a falsification by Pyrrhus Ligorius.〔Jacob Grimm, ''Teutonic Mythology'', tr. James Steven Stallybrass, volume 1, London: Bell, 1882, (p. 80, note 1 ).〕 She is also mentioned, as ''Zamfana'', in the supposed Old High German lullaby, which was accepted by Jacob Grimm〔Jacob Grimm, "Über die Göttin Tanfana," ''Monatsberichte der Berliner Akademie'' March 10, 1859, pp. 254–58, repr. in ''Kleinere Schriften'', ed. Karl Müllenhoff, volume 5 Berlin: Dümmler, 1871, pp. 418–21, p. 418 〕 but is now also considered a forgery.
