'''Larunda''' (also '''Larunde''', '''Laranda''', '''Lara''') was a [[Naiads|naiad]] [[nymph]], daughter of the river [[Almo (god)|Almo]] in [[Ovid]]'s ''[[Fasti (poem)|Fasti]]''.<ref name="fasti">[[Ovid]], ''[[Fasti (poem)|Fasti 2]]'', [http://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/OvidFastiBkTwo.htm#anchor_Toc69367694 V. 599].</ref>
== Mythology ==
The only known mythography attached to Lara is little, late and poetic, coming to us from Ovid's ''Fasti''. She was famous for both beauty and loquacity (a trait her parents attempted to curb). She was incapable of keeping secrets, and so revealed to [[Jupiter (god)|Jupiter]]'s wife [[Juno (deity)|Juno]] his affair with [[Juturna]] (Larunda's fellow nymph, and the wife of [[Janus (mythology)|Janus]]). For betraying his trust, Jupiter cut out Lara's tongue and ordered [[Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]], the [[psychopomp]], to conduct her to [[Avernus]], the gateway to the [[Underworld]] and realm of [[Pluto (god)|Pluto]]. Mercury, however, fell in love with Lara and prepared to force her as she pleaded with a glance, unable to speak. Lara thereby became mother to two children, referred to as the [[Lares]], invisible [[household god]]s. However, she had to stay in a hidden cottage in the woods so that [[Jupiter (god)|Jupiter]] would not find her.<ref name="fasti"/>
Larunda is likely identical with '''Muta''' "the [[muteness|mute]] one" and '''[[Dea Tacita|Tacita]]''' "the silent one", nymphs or minor goddesses.<ref>[[Lactantius]], ''The Divine Institutions'', I. 20</ref><ref>J. A. Hartung, ''Die Religion der Römer: Nach den Quellen'', vol. II, p. 204</ref>
== Etymology ==
Because she said to Juno the affair of Jupiter with Juturna, her name was connected with [[wikt:λαλεῖν|λαλεῖν]], which means talk, speak in Greek.<ref>[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0062%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DL%3Aentry+group%3D3%3Aentry%3Dlarunda-harpers Harry Thurston Peck, Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities (1898), Larunda]</ref>
== Cult ==
Ovid mentions the myth of Lara and Mercury in connection with the [[Roman festivals|festival]] of [[Feralia]] on February 21.<ref name="fasti"/> Lara/Larunda is also sometimes associated with [[Acca Larentia]],<ref>Cf. {{cite web|url=http://www.thaliatook.com/OGOD/accalarentia.html |title=Acca Larentia, Roman Goddess and Mother of the Lares |author=Thalia Took |access-date=2015-12-23 |date=2006 }}</ref> whose feast day was the [[Larentalia]] on December 23.
