ANGERONA, or ANGERONIA, in Mythology, the name of a mysterious deity whom the Romans prayed to for the cure of the quinsy, in Latin angina. Pliny calls her the goddess of silence and calmness of mind, who banishes all uneasiness and melancholy. She is represented with her mouth covered, to denote silent patience. Her statue was erected in the temple of the goddess Volupia, to show that a patient enduring of affliction leads to pleasure.
