- In Greek
mythology, Etna is the goddess of the volcano of the same
name in Sicily. She was considered a daughter of Uranus
and Gaia. The dragon Typhon
lived underneath the volcano and caused the destructive eruptions. Sicily, a land
of volcanoes and grain, was the subject of argument between Hephaestus
and Demeter, gods of fire
and the harvest, respectively. Etna stepped in and arbitrated. She was sometimes
thought of as the mother of the Palici.
