ausrine

Aurinė is the Morning Star (Venus) in Lithuanian, feminine deity in Lithuanian mythology. Some mythologists reconstruct her as the goddess of beauty, youth and health, the queen of all stars vaigdės, showing the sky way for her mother Sun (Saulė) at morning. Aurinė's sisters are other stars: Vakarinė (the evening Venus, who makes the bed for Saulė), Indraja (Jupiter), Sėlija (Saturn), iezdrė (Mars) and Vaivora (Mercury). Aurinė also figures in a Lithuanian myth about Sun, Moon and Morning Star, known from folklore material. (The myth tells, that, when the Moon (Mėnulis, a masculine hero in Lithuanian mythology) divorced Sun (Saulė), he fell in love with Aurinė and kidnapped her. Mėnulis wanted to marry Aurinė, but Perkūnas (Aurinės father, the god of thunder an the sky) detained their wedding. He hit an oak and splattered Aurinės white clothes with oak's blood.) Alternative names: Rytmetėlė, Marių Pana, Ryto vaigdelė, Auseklis (Latvian).
