Reading notes
- On the Nature of the Gods §2.66 is consecrated under the name of Juno
The Stoic physical allegory: Juno is the air (between sky and sea), sister and consort of Jupiter the aether; her name too is derived from iuvare. Neptune is the sea, Dis Pater the earth, dividing the three realms of myth.
