Tamar (goddess)

In Georgian mythology, Tamar was a Georgian goddess who controlled the weather patterns. Tamar enslaved "Dilis Varskvlavi", the Morning Star, who was master of winter; whenever he escaped, snow began to fall, but annually she captured him and brought summer back to the land.

She was called "eye of the earth" and was an eternal virgin who rode through the air on a serpent saddled and bridled with gold.

Nowadays, many women are named after her as she was such an important part of Georgian culture.
