Oźwiena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oźwiena was the goddess of echo in the Slavic mythology. She is similar to the Greek goddess Echo.
Her figure was connected to the human communication and the divulgation of discourses and actions. As the goddess of gossip, she was unable to keep any secret or private conversation. If she disliked somebody, Oźwiena distorted the meaning of his words. She was also the goddess of fame and glory, being the responsible of the storytelling of the heroes' deeds. When she was at the service of the subterranean god Peklenc, she spred the screams or the damned as a warning to the living ones.
She was told to be the companion of the god Veles (or Volos).
