She was responsible for bringing back the worship of the goddess Diana among the Roman aristocracy. Diana is one to whom Wiccans are always composing poems and songs Surnames: Coven Submitted by: glitz Origin of Ven, Meaning of Ven Origin: The repressiveness of the Turkish regime led Greeks to develop a certain type of "manly excellence," frequently identified as "leventia" (from leventis); or "palikaria" (from palikari). These two terms, like filotimo, are difficult to translate, but altogether refer to the responsibility of the individual under great duress to behave bravely and honorably. The development among modern Greeks of "leventia" may signify the ability in humans even under oppressive conditions to achieve a corresponding type of excellence in overcoming oppression, such as, the necessary personal attributes to endure all types of hardships and humiliations, or eventually to "defeat" the oppressor. Occasionally one hears a modern Greek call another one "leventi," as a show of unqualified admiration, or, if coming from an elderly person, approval of one's action, or encouragement to achieve the type of excellence in one's life that is associated with a leventi. Palikari, on the other hand, connotes a preliminary stage usually associated with younger people who have so far shown all indications of becoming a leventi, but whose physical and mental prowess is not conclusively matched by an equal determination of the heart to fight for what is right. My explanation of the possible differences between the two terms should be considered with great caution, since frequently they are used interchangeably. I am only describing here what seem to me to be some slight differences in emphasis, although in practice Greeks may use one or the other almost indiscriminately. In any event, at least as far as the term palikari is concerned, it is usually associated with a "budding" young male with a "straight back" that at least exudes a leventi like air about him.
