Bendida or Bendis was a Thracian goddess divinity of the moon and the hunt whom the Greeks identified with Artemis. Bendida or Bendis a Thracian goddess divinity was a huntress, like Artemis, but was accompanied by dancing satyrs and maenads on a fifth century red-figure stemless cup at Verona. More than Olympian Artemis, Bendida or Bendis a Thracian goddess divinity remained a night-goddess. A decree of the oracle of Dodona required ancient Greeks Athenians to grant land for a shrine or temple for Bendida or Bendis a Thracian goddess divinity. Her cult was introduced into Attica by immigrant Thracian residents, and, though Thracian and Athenian processions remained separate. Both cult and festival of Bendida or Bendis a Thracian goddess divinity became so popular that in Plato's time 429 - 413 B.C. its festivities were naturalized as an official ceremonial of the city-state, called the Bendideia. Among the events were nighttime torch-races on horseback, mentioned in Plato's Republic, 328. See details in Hot News.
