== Joining convents ==
Women joined convents for a variety of reasons. Although a [[dowry]] was paid to the church it was not as expensive as a wedding dowry, so many families sent their daughters to convents to escape dowry expenses.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Jones|first1=Marshall|last2=Rapley|first2=Elizabeth|date=2001|title=Behavioral Contagion and the Rise of Convent Education in France|journal=Journal of Interdisciplinary History|volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=489–521 |doi=10.1162/00221950151115061 |s2cid=144405664 }}</ref> Women had fewer choices than in the twenty-first century—marriage or convent life. Thus, the structure of convents kept young women occupied and preserved their chastity until they reached marrying age.
Nuns dedicated their lives to the convent, the institution of marriage to God, and took three solemn vows: a life of chastity, poverty and obedience.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Gender and Politics in Early Modern Europe|last=Walker|first=Claire|publisher=Palgrave MacMillan|year=2003|isbn=9780333753705|location=Hampshire and New York|pages=7}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Nuns|last=Evangelisti|first=Silvia|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2007|isbn=978-0-19-280435-8|location=New York|pages=15}}</ref> According to the church, the life of a cloistered nun was deemed to be the most honorable existence for women.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe|last=Weisner-Hanks|first=Merry|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2008|isbn=978-0-521-87372-7|location=New York|pages=[https://archive.org/details/womengenderinear0000wies_z9r9/page/226 226]|url=https://archive.org/details/womengenderinear0000wies_z9r9/page/226}}</ref> During the [[Counter-Reformation|Catholic Reformation]], nuns recruited and cloistered new members of the church.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Seguin|first=Colleen M.|date=October 2005|title=Gender and Politics in Early Modern Europe: English Converts in France and the Low Countries|journal=The Catholic Historical Review|doi=10.1353/cat.2006.0019 |s2cid=154421090 }}</ref>

The '''Community of St. John the Divine''' (CSJD) is an [[Anglican religious order]] of [[nun]]s within the [[Church of England]]. Founded in [[London]] in 1848, the community is now based in [[Marston Green]], [[Solihull]], [[England]]. Originally a nursing order, the CSJD continues to be involved in areas of health and [[pastoral care]], and operates retreat facilities.
Author [[Jennifer Worth]] wrote about her work with the order in the 1950s in her ''[[Call the Midwife (book)|Call The Midwife]]'' trilogy.<ref>{{cite news|last=Rainey|first=Sarah|title=Nuns from the order that inspired 'Call the Midwife' never miss a show|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/9084310/Nuns-from-the-order-that-inspired-Call-the-Midwife-never-miss-a-show.html|accessdate=2 October 2012|newspaper=Telegraph|date=15 February 2012}}</ref> The order was named "Sisters of St. [[Raymond Nonnatus]]" in the book, as well as the subsequent ''[[Call The Midwife]]'' television series on the [[BBC]].

'''Elizabeth Alvina Platz''' is an American Lutheran pastor and was the first woman in North America [[ordination|ordained]] by a [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] church body.
Platz was born and raised in Pittsburgh, in a family that attended church regularly, but was not religious. She won a scholarship to attend any college in Pittsburgh, and chose to study at [[Chatham College]], where she graduated in 1962 with a degree in history.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=The Reverend Elizabeth Platz Smith ’62 {{!}} Transform Chatham's Future {{!}} Chatham University |url=https://plannedgiving.chatham.edu/why-give/donor-stories/reverend-elizabeth-platz-smith-62 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=plannedgiving.chatham.edu}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Shattering the Lutheran Glass Ceiling |url=https://today.umd.edu/shattering-lutheran-glass-ceiling-69581d92-3569-4a40-b32f-e274f1479e15 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=Maryland Today |language=en}}</ref> While there, she became interested in studying theology. After graduating, she enrolled at [[Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg]], which was the only Lutheran seminary that would accept woman. While the other four women enrolled were all on the education track, Platz was able to persuade the administration to allow her to take on the Bachelors of Divinity program.<ref name=":1" /> After graduating in 1965, Platz served as [[chaplain]] for the Lutheran Campus Ministry at the [[University of Maryland, College Park]].<ref name=":0" />
In 1970, when the [[Lutheran Church in America]] (LCA) moved to allow women's ordination, Platz was one of the few women determined to be eligible for ordination immediately.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Elizabeth Platz {{!}} Fifty Years On: a Half Century of Ordaining Lutheran Women |url=https://pages.stolaf.edu/lutheranwomensordination/elizabeth-platz/ |access-date=2023-05-09 |language=en-US}}</ref> In November 1970, she became the first woman to be ordained into the LCA. She continued to work at the University of Maryland for the rest of her career. While there, she advocated for better conditions for many groups, including graduate students and the custodial staff. She also was devoted to interfaith programming and established a fund in memory of her husband Wofford K. Smith, who had been the university's Episcopal chaplain. Platz retired from UMD in 2012, having worked 47 years as the [[chaplain]] at the Lutheran Campus Ministry

At the 2005 Churchwide Assembly of the ELCA in [[Orlando, Florida]], a special program was held in honor of the 35 years since Platz's history-making ordination.

Shortly after establishing an abbey for men called [[Savigny Abbey|Holy Trinity of Savigny]], [[Vitalis of Savigny|Saint Vitalis]], founder of the [[monastic order of Savigny]], set up the Abbaye Blanche for women, with his sister Adelina as abbess. The [[nun]]s of the Abbaye Blanche wore habits of undyed wool and followed a very strict interpretation of the [[Rule of Saint Benedict]].<ref>{{cite journal| jstor=2852620 |first1=Jacob Johannes |last1=Van Moolenbroek |first2=Hope |last2=Mayo |title=Vitalis van Savigny (1122): Bronnen en vroege cultus mit editie van diplomatische teksten - A Review |journal=[[Speculum (journal)|Speculum]] |doi=10.2307/2852620}}</ref>
The church is built on a Latin cross floorplan of a central nave and a wide transept. The style is [[Gothic architecture|Early Gothic]], though unfortunately only the [[chapter house]], cellar and [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] cloister remain in their original 12th-century form.
The communities of Holy Trinity and the Abbaye Blanche joined the [[Cistercians|Cistercian]] order in 1147, as did the other 30 or so houses of the Order of Savigny.[[Image:France Mortain Abbaye Blanche bordercropped.jpg|thumb|right|Abbaye Blanche]]'''Saint Adelina''' (died 1125) was a French [[Benedictine]] nun honored as a [[saint]] by the [[Catholic Church]].<ref>“Saint Adelina”.

'''Ada of Holland''' (1208 – 15 June 1258) was a Dutch abbess of [[Rijnsburg Abbey]] from 1239.
Ada was born in about 1208 to [[William I, Count of Holland|Willem I, Count of Holland]] (ca. 1168-1222) and [[Aleid van Gelre]] (ca. 1178-1218). She first appears in written records in 1233 and in 1239 she moves from being a nun to being the abbess of [[Rijnsburg Abbey]].<ref name="bit">{{Cite web |last=Groffen |first=Dimphéna |date=2019-09-17 |title=Ada van Holland (ca. 1208-1258) |url=http://resources.huygens.knaw.nl/vrouwenlexicon/lemmata/data/AdavanHollandvanRijnsburg |access-date=2019-10-05 |website=Digitaal Vrouwenlexicon van Nederland |language=Dutch}}</ref>
Because the abbey had been donated by her family she was allowed to be called the Lady of Rijnsburg. Problems arose in 1244 when her brother, [[Otto III van Holland]], required that she should refer important decisions to him and other clergy and monarchs. She appealed to the pope, [[Innocent IV]], who ruled in her favour. He confirmed her autonomy and also allowed the abbey the right to receive donations from novices entering the abbey.<ref name=bit/>
Ada's authority was further undermined when her cousin sold the abbey and Ada was obliged to use her own money to repurchase it.<ref name=bit/>
Van Holland died in [[Rijnsburg Abbey]] on 15 June 1258.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ada van Holland |url=http://www.biografischportaal.nl/persoon/87515907 |access-date=2019-10-05 |website=Biografisch Portaal van Nederland}}</ref>

'''Afrella''' or '''Arilda''' was an early 6th century Welsh [[saint]].
Afrelia was the daughter of "a high-ranking official at the royal court of Gwent" whom it has been suggested was [[Vortimer]], a son of [[Vortigern|Vortigen]] and his queen [[Severa Verch Macsen]] (daughter of [[Roman Emperor]] [[Magnus Maximus|Maximus]]).
She was the wife of [[Umbrafel]]. Umbrafel had a nephew [[Samson of Dol]]. When Samson persuaded his parents to join a monastery,<ref>Adrien Baillet, Les Vies des Saints, avec l'histoire de leur culte, selon qu ..., Volume 2(chez la Veuve Roulland, 1724) p401.</ref> Umbrafel and his wife Afrelia, decided to do likewise.

Write a brief encyclopedic entry on Agapetae that I can use as a starting point for a Wikipedia article. | 26 | Agapetae | Low | 2022-11-17 | Stub | 2022-11-17 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agapetae | {{Distinguish|Agape}}
In the 1st century AD, the '''Agapetae''' (from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word ἀγαπηταί (''agapetai''), meaning 'beloved') were [[virgin]]s who consecrated themselves to God with a vow of chastity and associated with [[laymen]].<ref>[https://www.biblicaltraining.org/library/agapetae Biblical Training website]</ref>
The practice was also known as [[Syneisaktism]] (spiritual marriage).<ref>[https://synergyexplorers.org/traditions/1-ce-to-400-ce/agapetae-or-subintroductae-1st-3rd-centuries/ Synergy Explorers website]</ref>
Agapetae were mainly women, although men who lived the same kind of life with deaconesses were named Agapeti (ἀγαπητοί).<ref>[https://www.biblicalcyclopedia.com/A/agapetae.html Biblical Cyclopedia website]</ref> The term is related to the Greek word ‘agape’, meaning selfless and unconditional love.<ref>[https://www.learnreligions.com/agape-love-in-the-bible-700675 Learn Religions website]</ref>
==Background==
The concept was taken from the Bible, and agapetae are mentioned in the [[Song of Solomon]],{{cn|date=April 2024}} almost 1000 years before [[Jesus]]. Some commentators believe that [[Virgin Mary| Mary]] was the agapetae of [[Saint Joseph| Joseph]] and [[Mary Magdalene]] was the agapetae of Jesus.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Dhz5DwAAQBAJ&dq=Agapetae&pg=PT278 Google Books, ''Mystical Marriage: Opening the Sixth Seal of the Revelation'' by C. S. Warner]</ref> In the early Church, virginity was seen as a positive way of life for many Christians, as marriage was seen as promoting evil, quarrels, and the road to sin and suffering.<ref>Castelli. ''Virginity and Its Meaning for Women's Sexuality in Early Christianity.'' 69.</ref> In the [[Bible]], [[St Paul]] had promoted staying single in his writings.<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%207-9&version=NIV Bible Gateway, 1st Corinthians Ch 7, v8, ''"Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do."'']</ref> Spiritual marriages were seen as an alternative way of life, where a man and a woman could have an equal relationship which was emotionally and spiritually intimate.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Clark |first=Elizabeth A. |date=1977 |title=John Chrysostom and the "Subintroductae" |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3165004 |journal=Church History |volume=46 |issue=2 |pages=171–185 |doi=10.2307/3165004 |issn=0009-6407}}</ref> It was also a practical answer to the financial question of how single women could support themselves.
==Controversary==
This association later resulted in abuses and scandals, so that councils of the fourth century forbade it. The [[Synod of Elvira]] in 305 called for clergy to refrain from living with women unless they were related.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LLMC |url=https://llmc.com/Login.aspx |access-date=2024-12-05 |website=llmc.com}}</ref>
The [[Council of Ancyra]], in 314, forbade virgins consecrated to God to live thus with men as sisters. This did not correct the practice entirely, and one hundred years later [[St. Jerome]] arraigned Syrian monks for living in cities with Christian virgins.
The Agapetae are sometimes confounded with the ''[[Clerical celibacy|subintroductae]]'', or woman who lived with [[clerics]] without marriage,<ref>[https://www.biblicalcyclopedia.com/S/subintroductae.html Biblical Cyclopedia website]</ref> a class against which the third canon of the [[First Council of Nicaea]] (325) was directed.<ref name="Cath1913">{{CE1913|inline=y|wstitle=Agapetae|last = A'Becket|first = John J.|volume=1}}.</ref> The practice of clerics living with unrelated women was finally condemned by the [[First Council of the Lateran|First]] and [[Second Council of the Lateran|Second]] Lateran Councils in the 12th century.<ref name="EB1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Agapetae|volume=1|page=366}}</ref>
The Agapetae were also a branch of the [[Gnostics]] in the late 4th century, who held that sexual relations were only improper if the mind was impure. They taught that one should perjure himself rather than reveal the secrets of his sect.<ref name="Cath1913"/>

'''Agnes, Countess of [[Aix-en-Berry]]''' ([[floruit|fl.]] 1080–1120) was a medieval healer and the first prioress of the [[Orsan Priory]].
Agnes was the first wife of [[Alard de Guillebaud]], lord of [[Châteaumeillant]]; when the marriage was dissolved by reason of [[consanguinity]], Agnes retired to [[Fontevraud Abbey]]. In 1107, Alard donated lands for the foundation of a Fontevrist monastery near Orsan (modern [[Maisonnais]]) to [[Robert of Arbrissel]] at the urging of [[Leger (archbishop of Bourges)|Leger]], [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bourges|Archbishop of Bourges]]; Agnes became the first prioress of the resulting monastery. She was reputed to be a healer of considerable skill, and attended Robert on his death bed.

She succeeded [[Þóra Finnsdóttir]]/Barbara who was ordained as a nun with her in 1431.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Háskólabókasafn |first=Landsbókasafn Íslands- |title=Tímarit.is |url=https://timarit.is/page/2317550 |access-date=2024-04-08 |website=timarit.is |language=is}}</ref>
Agnes Jónsdóttir was the daughter of Búland county magistrate Jón Jónsson within the municipality of [[Húnaþing vestra|Húnaþing]]. Her brothers were Ásgrimur Jónsson, the abbot of [[Þingeyraklaustur|Þingeyrar]] cloister, and Þorvaldur at Móberg who was the father of Björg, the second wife of the lawyer Jón Sigmundsson. Agnes became the prioress upon Þóra's death but it is not clear when exactly she became inaugurated as abbess. She allegedly did not want to bend herself to the will of the bishop of [[Hólar]], Ólafur Rögnvaldsson, and she tried to hire Þorleifur Árnason of [[Glaumbær]] against Ólafur's wishes. However, these plans did not materialize and she was reprimanded by the bishop. The convent's overseer later became [[Jón Þorvaldsson (abbot)|Jón Þorvaldsson]], Agnes’ nephew, who eventually served as the abbot at Þingeyrar.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Háskólabókasafn |first=Landsbókasafn Íslands- |title=Tímarit.is |url=https://timarit.is/page/3556351 |access-date=2024-04-08 |website=timarit.is |language=is}}</ref>

'''Agnes of Brunswick-Grubenhagen''' (born: {{circa|1406}}; died: 18 November 1439) was, from 1412 to 1439, [[abbess]] of [[Gandersheim Abbey]] as '''Agnes II'''.
== Life ==
She was a daughter of [[Eric I, Duke of Brunswick-Grubenhagen]]. She was about six years old when she was elected abbess of [[Gandersheim Abbey]]. The pope confirmed Agnes's election while she was a minor, however, he appointed a dean of the Abbey as her guardian and regent. Around 1425, Agnes began to rule without a regent.
She died in 1439 and was buried in the abbey church.

'''Agneyi''' ([[Sanskrit]]: आग्नेयी, [[IAST]] Āgneyī, 'Daughter of Agni') is mentioned in the ''[[Harivamsa|Harivamsha]]'' and the ''[[Vishnu Purana]]'' as the wife of Ūru (a descendant of [[Angiras (sage)|Angiras]]) and the mother of the kings Anga, Sumanas, Khyati, [[Kratu]], and [[Shibi (king)|Sibi]] (The ''Harivamsha'' includes another son, Gaya).<ref>{{cite book|title=Harivamsa|publisher=Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune|url=http://www.dvaipayana.net/harivamsa/harivamshaparva/hv_1_2.html|ref=Verse 1-2-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Pathak|first1=M.

== Etymology ==
The masculine construction of the word, Āgneya, has been used as a generic adjective meaning 'flammable', 'fiery', 'consecrated to [[Agni]]', 'ruled by [[Agni]]', etc.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Sanskrit Heritage Dictionary|url=http://sanskrit.inria.fr/DICO/9.html#aagneya}}</ref> It has also been used as a proper noun epithet of the [[Agni Purana]], the Āgneya [[Astra (weapon)|Astra]], and the cardinal direction of the South East (of which [[Agni]] is the [[Dikpala]]). The feminine construction Āgneyī is used only as proper noun.<ref>{{cite web|title=Monier-Williams Sanskrit dictionary|url=http://sanskrit.inria.fr/MW/26.html#aagneya}}</ref>
== Legend ==
Āgneyī is known in ancient Vedic literature as Āgneyā where she is defined as a divine and powerful goddess. Her mother is credited to be a consort of [[Agni]] interchangeably known as [[Svaha]] and Agnāyī (meaning, "Wife of Agni").
It is also suggested that the masculine epithet Āgneya -- used to signify the Southeastern cardinal direction -- actually refers to the goddess Āgneyā. Likewise, she is also said to be the [[shakti]] of the Āgneya [[Astra (weapon)|astra]].

Mother '''Agnès Arnauld, [[Cistercians|S.O.Cist.]]''' (1593–1672), was the [[Abbess]] of the [[Abbey of Port-Royal]], near Paris, and a major figure in French [[Jansenism]].
She was born '''Jeanne-Catherine-Agnès Arnauld''', a member of the [[Arnauld family]], sister of [[Antoine Arnauld (1612-1694)|Antoine Arnauld]], "le Grand Arnauld" and of Mother [[Angélique Arnauld]]. She succeeded Angélique as head of the abbey in 1658, thus leading it during the most repressive anti-Jansenist period. She organised the movement against signing the [[Formulary of Alexander VII]] and for this was confronted by [[Hardouin de Péréfixe de Beaumont|Hardouin de Péréfixe]], the [[Archbishop of Paris]]. She was also the author of the ''Constitutions'' of Port-Royal, a text which reformed the material and spiritual rule of the abbey in a spirit of [[Cistercian]] renewal.

'''Ahmose-Sitamun''' or just '''Sitamun''' was a princess of the early [[Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt]].
== Etymology ==
Her name Ahmose-Sitamun (sꜣt-jmn; Sat-Amun/Satamun) means "Child of the [[Moon]], Daughter of [[Amun]]".
== Biography ==
Sitamun<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pnm.uni-mainz.de/5/person/3578 | title=Person sꜣt-NSW Sꜣt-JMN (Ahmose) | Persons and Names of the Middle Kingdom }}</ref> was the daughter of [[Pharaoh]] [[Ahmose I]] and sister of [[Amenhotep I]]. Her titles were: King's Daughter (sꜣt-nsw); King's Sister (snt-nsw); God's Wife (ḥmt-nṯr) Her name was written in cartouche.
By Year 18 of Ahmose I (1570-1546 BC high chronology), her title string included King's Daughter and God's Wife. When her brother Amenhotep I (1545-1526 BC high chronology) became king, the title King's Sister was added to her title string.

What is the significance of Albina (mythology) in religious studies? I need content for a Wikipedia entry. | 41 | Albina (mythology) | Low | 2022-11-20 | Stub | 2022-11-20 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albina_(mythology) | {{Other uses|Albina (disambiguation){{!}}Albina}}
{{Refimprove|date=November 2006}}
'''Albina''', also known as '''Albine''' or '''The White Goddess''',<ref>{{cite book |last1=Graves |first1=Robert |title=The White Goddess |date=1948 |page=68 |edition=16th}}</ref> is a [[goddess]] (possibly [[Etruscan religion|Etruscan]]) associated with the [[dawn]] and the founding of [[Great Britain]]. She is first mentioned in the Anglo-Norman poem ''Des Grantz Geanz''.{{sfn|Brereton|1937|p=v}}
[[File:Alpanu.png|thumb|The Etruscan Goddess Alpanu]]
== Founding of Britain ==
The first mention of Albina is in the Anglo-Norman poem ''Des Grantz Geanz'', which dates to the late 13th or early 14th century, and has been tentatively dated no later than 1333.{{sfn|Brereton|1937|p=xxxiii}} An abridged form of the poem was appended as a prologue to the [[Brut Chronicle]].{{sfn|Brereton|1937|p=xxxvii}}
In the poem, Albina is the eldest of 30 daughters of a Greek king. The daughters resent the subjugation of marriage and conspire to murder their husbands, but the youngest confesses to the conspiracy before they can act. When their father learns of their plot, the twenty-nine unrepentant sisters are exiled from Greece and arrive at an uninhabited island, which they name Albion after Albina. There, they are seduced by [[Incubus|incubi]] and give birth to a race of giants. These giants are identified as the ones that Brutus encounters when he arrives at Britain in [[Geoffrey of Monmouth|Geoffrey of Monmouth's]] ''[[Historia Regum Britanniae]]''.{{sfn|Brereton|1937|p=v}}
An alternate version of the poem has Albina and her sisters as daughters of King Diodicias of Syria. In this version, the conspiracy is not revealed in advance and the sisters are exiled after successfully killing their husbands.{{sfn|Brereton|1937|p=xxxv}}
The account of Britain's founding by Albina is referenced and dismissed in the [[Holinshed's Chronicles]],<ref>{{cite book |title=The Holinshed Texts |date=1587 |edition=Second |url=https://english.nsms.ox.ac.uk/holinshed/texts.php?text1=1587_0129 |chapter=Vol. 2, §1.3}}</ref> as well as in John Milton's [[The History of Britain (Milton)|History of Britain]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Milton |first1=John |title=The History of Britain |date=1670 |url=https://milton.host.dartmouth.edu/reading_room/britain/text.shtml}}</ref> The Holinshed's Chronicles attribute the story's origin to [[Nennius]], but Milton notes that no mention of Albina is found in Nennius's body of work. [[Robert Graves]]' book ''[[The White Goddess]]'' picks up on this claim and describes Albina as of one of fifty sisters (see [[Danaïdes]]) who named [[Albion]], ascribing the legend to Nennius.<ref>{{cite book |last1=de Wavrin |first1=John |title=A Collection of Chronicles and ancient Histories of Great Britain |date=1864 |page=29}}</ref> It is thought that the original name for Great Britain, [[Albion]], was inspired by the [[White Cliffs of Dover]], derived from the Latin albus, meaning "white" or "bright".{{cn|date=November 2021}}
== Possible Etruscan Origins ==
Albina is mentioned in [[Charles Godfrey Leland]]'s 1892 collection of folklore ''Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition''. According to Leland, Albina was an [[Etruscan religion|Etruscan]] goddess of light and ill-fated lovers. The accounts of Albina were obtained by [[word of mouth]] from local and often illiterate peasants, some of whom were considered [[Paganism|witches]] or {{lang|it|Strega}}.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Leland |first1=Charles Godfrey |title=Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition |date=1892 |page=5}}</ref> Possibly a combination of other deities such as [[Alpanu]] and [[Aurora (mythology)|Aurora]], Albina is described as a beautiful flying woman (or fairy) and associated with light. The Albina referenced by Leland is likely only loosely related to the figure described in ''[[The White Goddess]]''.

Could you provide a neutral, factual summary about Alecto in Wikipedia style? | 42 | Alecto | Low | 2023-12-10 | Stub | 2023-12-10 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alecto | {{Short description|Fury (Erinys) in Greek mythology}}
{{about|the character from Greek mythology}}
{{Refimprove|date=February 2017}}
[[File:Orestes Pursued by the Furies by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1862) - Google Art Project.jpg|thumb|right|''[[Orestes Pursued by the Furies]]'' by [[William-Adolphe Bouguereau]]]]
'''Alecto''' ({{langx|grc|Ἀληκτώ|Alēktṓ|Unceasing anger}})<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Furies Furies], Encyclopedia Britannica, Retrieved 5 February 2025</ref> is one of the [[Erinyes]] or Furies in [[Greek mythology]].
==Family and description==
According to [[Hesiod]], Alecto was the daughter of [[Gaia (mythology)|Gaea]] fertilized by the blood spilled from [[Uranus (mythology)|Uranus]] when [[Cronus]] [[castrated]] him. She is the sister of [[Tisiphone]] and [[Megaera]]. These three Furies had snakes for hair and blood dripped from their eyes, while their wings were those of bats.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Encyclopaedia Britannica|access-date=10 October 2020|title=The Furies in Greek Mythology|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Furies#ref152642}}</ref> Alecto's job as a Fury is [[castigating]] the [[moral character|moral crimes]] (such as anger) of humans, especially if they are against others.
Alecto's function is similar to [[Nemesis (mythology)|Nemesis]], with the difference that Nemesis's function is to castigate crimes against the gods, not mortals. Her punishment for mortals was [[Mental disorder|Madness]].
==In mythology==
In [[Virgil]]'s ''[[Aeneid]]'' (Book VII), [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]] commanded the Fury Allecto (spelled with two l's) to prevent the [[Troy|Trojans]] from having their way with King [[Latinus]] by marriage or besieging Italian borders. Allecto's mission is to wreak havoc on the Trojans and cause their downfall through war. To do this, Allecto takes over the body of Queen [[Amata]], who clamors for all of the Latin mothers to riot against the Trojans. She disguises herself as Juno's priestess [[Calybe]] and appears to [[Turnus]] in a dream persuading him to begin the war against the Trojans. Met with a mocking response from Turnus, Allecto abandons persuasion and attacks Turnus with a torch, causing his blood to "boil with the passion for war". Unsatisfied with her work in igniting the war, Allecto asks Juno if she can provoke more strife by drawing in bordering towns. Juno replies that she will manage the rest of the war herself: "You're roving far too freely, high on the heavens' winds, and the Father, king of steep Olympus, won't allow it. You must give way. Whatever struggle is still to come, I'll manage it myself."<ref>{{cite book|author=Virgil|translator-last=Fagles|translator-first=Robert|at=II.646-649|title=Aeneid}}</ref>
==In culture==
=== Literature ===
* Alecto appears in Book VII of Virgil's ''Aeneid''.
* Alecto appears in the medieval Irish epic [[Táin Bó Cúailnge]] where she is equated with the [[The Morrígan|Mórrígan]], the Irish mythological figure associated with battle and death.<ref>O'Rahilly, Cecile (ed.) (1976) ''Táin Bó Cúailnge. Recension I,'' Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, p. 30</ref>
* She briefly appears in Canto IX of [[Dante]]'s ''[[The Divine Comedy#Inferno|Inferno]]'' with her sisters before the gates of Dis, threatening to unveil the Medusa.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Aligheri |first1=Dante |editor1-last=Cary |editor1-first=Henry Francis |title=Inferno |date=1888 |publisher=William Clowes and Sons, Ltd. |location=United Kingdom |page=44}}</ref>
* Alecto is invoked in [[John Dryden]]'s adaptation of [[Oedipus Rex]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dryden |first1=John |last2=Lee |first2=Nathaniel |title=Oedipus, A Tragedy |date=1724 |location=London |page=38}}</ref>

Her family and background is unknown, but she became a member of the convent in 1529, and abbess five years later. She played an important political part: she had contacts within the government, expanded the abbey and its importance considerably and made it into an asylum (1544) where a great deal of religious dissidents were given protection, as well as being a religious and charitable center. During the great Iconoclasm of 1566, the Calvinist [[Caspar van der Heyden]] held a speech outside the convent gates the 24 August, after which the abbey was attacked. The nuns themselves were not molested but given save passage, but the abbey was given such damage that it could not be restored for a year. Because of the threat of war in 1567, Amalberga Vos evacuated the nuns to [[Ghent|Gent]]. She was replaced as abbess by [[Louise Hanssens]] in 1573, but it is not known if she simply left the office or if she died.

==Myths and legends==
As the primary [[deity]] of the Basque mythos, Amalur holds the life force that powers the world. Her power allows life to exist, so faith in her is very important among Basques, predating the [[Indo-European migrations]] into [[Iberia]].
Amalur also created other deities. She created Ekhi, the sun, and Ilargi, the moon. She also created the [[stemless carline thistle]], a species of sunflower important to the Basques, as it was believed that putting it on one's door would scare malicious spirits away.<ref name=Anthropos>{{cite book |last1=Ortiz-Osés |first1=Andrés |title=Antropología simbólica vasca |date=1985 |publisher=Anthropos, Editorial del Hombre |location=Barcelona |isbn=8485887840 |edition=1a }}</ref>

==Legend==
Amay Gyan was born Chan-Tha to the chief of the [[Shwedaung, Mandalay|Shwedaung]] village in present-day central Myanmar in c. mid-14th century. Her family reportedly disowned her for marrying [[Nga Tet Pya]], whom her father deemed a dubious character and a drunkard. After the marriage, she, too, became addicted to [[Borassus flabellifer|toddy palm]] [[Palm wine|wine]] like her husband. One day, a drunken Chan-Tha argued with the guards at one of the gates of Ava, the capital. The argument quickly escalated into a physical altercation after she started cursing out at the guards. She was severely beaten up by the guards and died from the injuries. For her courage, she became a martyr to the local populace and later entered the pantheon of Burmese [[Nat (spirit)|''nats'']] (spirits) as a ''nat'' named Amay Gyan ("Mother Gyan").<ref name="Ne_Yaung"/>

Wikipedia Women in Religion - Dataset Card
Dataset Description
The "Wikipedia Women in Religion" dataset is a comprehensive collection of Wikipedia articles focused on women in religious and spiritual contexts across various traditions. The dataset includes structured metadata, user-generated prompts for creating these articles, and the raw Wikipedia markup content.
Dataset Summary
This dataset contains 779 entries related to women in religious roles, sacred feminine figures, religious organizations focused on women, and female religious scholars. Each entry includes metadata about the article's importance rating, quality assessment, and dates of evaluation, along with a simulated user prompt that could be used to generate stub articles with an LLM, and the actual Wikipedia markup content.
The dataset serves as a valuable resource for research in natural language processing, particularly for tasks involving Wikipedia content generation, religious studies text analysis, and evaluation of LLM capabilities in specialist knowledge domains.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each instance in the dataset represents a Wikipedia article and contains:
{
"Prompt": "Could you provide a neutral, factual summary about Stassi D. Cramm in Wikipedia style?",
"ID": 1207,
"Title": "Stassi D. Cramm",
"Importance": "???",
"Importance_Date": "2024-12-22",
"Quality": "Stub",
"Quality_Date": "2025-01-08",
"Wikipedia_URL": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stassi_D._Cramm&oldid=1234567890",
"Wiki_Content": "{{Short description|Prophet-President designate of Community of Christ}}\n'''Stassi D. Cramm''' is the [[Prophet-President]] designate of [[Community of Christ]]..."
}
Data Fields
- Prompt: A simulated user query requesting an LLM to generate a Wikipedia stub article
- ID: Numerical identifier for the entry
- Title: Article title on Wikipedia
- Importance: Assessed importance rating (Top, Mid, Low, or ???)
- Importance_Date: Date when the importance rating was assigned
- Quality: Quality rating (primarily "Stub")
- Quality_Date: Date when the quality rating was assigned
- Wikipedia_URL: Link to the Wikipedia article
- Wiki_Content: Raw Wikipedia markup content of the article
Data Splits
The dataset does not contain predefined splits. Users can create custom splits based on importance ratings, article topics, or other attributes for specific research purposes.
Dataset Creation
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The source data was collected from Wikipedia's WP 1.0 Web Interface, which provides assessment data for articles. The dataset specifically focuses on articles related to women in religion and spirituality. Article content was extracted using Wikipedia's API to retrieve the raw wikitext markup.
Who are the source data authors?
The source data authors are Wikipedia contributors who created and edited the articles, as well as Wikipedia assessment participants who evaluated the articles' importance and quality.
Annotations
Annotation process
The dataset includes simulated user prompts added to demonstrate how one might request an LLM to generate these articles. These prompts were algorithmically generated with variation patterns to reflect real-world usage.
Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
This dataset focuses specifically on women in religious contexts, which helps address potential gender imbalances in religious studies and documentation. It provides a resource for research into how women's contributions to religious traditions are documented and represented in encyclopedic resources.
Discussion of Biases
The dataset inherits biases present in Wikipedia, including:
- Western and English-language focus
- Potential underrepresentation of women from certain religious traditions
- Varying depth of coverage based on article age and contributor interest
Researchers should consider these biases when using the dataset for model training or analysis.
Other Known Limitations
- All articles are rated as "Stub" quality, indicating they are in early development stages
- The dataset contains 779 entries, which is a subset of the broader corpus of articles related to the topic
- Article content may have changed on Wikipedia since the dataset was created
Additional Information
Dataset Curators
