ArchivesRecommendation for Mike C. included
in reply to a message by Arminthia
Unfortunately, our resident Greek, who could probably best answer your question, is going to be off-line for the next couple of days. But I'm sure that when Che gets back from romping with the centaurs in Mt. Pelion, he'll tackle your request. :)
A quick 'net search revealed that your name was somewhat in vogue here in the U.S. around the latter half of the 19th century, from all the genealogy pages I saw bearing that name. But I suppose you probably already knew that. Sorry I can't be of much more help. Maybe Daividh or Mike C. might be familiar with your name.
I even checked my *Goddesses in World Mythology: A Biographical Dictionary* by Martha Ann & Dorothy Myers Imel (Oxford University Press, c1993), just in case Arminthia might have been a goddess I couldn't recall. But there was no Arminthia in their, either.
Mike C -- You might want to consider adding this book to your list of recommended name-source books. It's the most comprehensive dictionary of world goddesses I've ever seen compiled. It's even got Nanaea in there. :)
