Dziewona
In Slavic and Polish mythology, Dziewona (or Zewana) is the equivalent of Diana, whose name is said to appear very late in Slavic history. However, all her names that derive from Slavic language translate to "The Maiden." She equates to the goddess Diana in name and function. She is more widespread in Slavic countries, whereas in other cultures she is a minor deity. She is the Polish virginal Goddess who is the huntress of the forest, and is associated with the Moon, spring, agriculture and weather.
