Roman A minor goddess who spreadrumors, mixing truth and lies, and who also spreadstrife and disagreement. She was perhaps only thepersonification of the human trait of spreading rumorand gossip. When Fama, speaking in many voices,spread her rumors in the realms of the gods, Jupitercast her out, sending her to live among humanswhere she found it easy to spread harm and evil. TheGreeks knew her as Ossa, or Pheme.The Roman poet Virgil described Fama in greatdetail. He said she had thousands of eyes and mouthsand that she could fly between the Earth and theheavens. Her palace had many openings throughwhich the false messages she spoke could pass to bespread over the Earth. Scholars suggest that Virgilhimself, or Greek poets too, may have created thisgoddess, basing her features on little more than theirideas for the forces that cause rumors.
