nikkeh09 (Fan Art Portfolio) Salacia Roman Goddess

Salacia Roman Goddess

So i was bored at work once more with only the computers 'paint' so i decided to give another shot to this contest (since no one seems to like traditional art)

My goddess i've choosen is Salacia, the Roman Goddess of the Sea.

In ancient Roman mythology, Salacia was the female divinity of the sea, worshipped as the goddess of salt water who presided over the depths of the ocean.She was the wife and queen of Neptune, god of the sea and water

The god Neptune wanted to marry Salacia, but she was in great awe of her distinguished suitor, and to preserve her virginity, with grace and celerity she managed to glide out of his sight, and hid from him in the Atlantic Ocean. The grieving Neptune sent a dolphin to look for her and persuade the fair nymph to come back and share his throne. Salacia agreed to marry Neptune and the King of the Deep was so overjoyed at these good tidings that the dolphin was awarded a place in the heavens, where he now forms a well known constellation Delphinus.
