Greek: Mnemosyne (goddess)
Latin:(no equivalent)

The Titaness from Greek mythology: Linda learned in a class at school that Mnemosyne was a goddess of memory from which the terms "memory," and "mnemonic" got their meaning.

She was the daughter of Uranus and Gaea and the mother by Zeus of the Muses.

In Hesiod's Theogony, kings and poets received their powers of authoritative speech from their possession of Mnemosyne and their special relationship with the Muses. Zeus lay with Mnemosyne for nine consecutive nights and thereby created the nine muses.
