in Grecian Mythology, the goddess of youth, and cup-bearer of the gods. She was the daughter of Jupiter and Juno, and is sometimes depicted assisting her mother in yoking her horses to her chariot. In her function of pouring out the nectar at the feasts of the gods, she was superseded by Ganymede; but she always retained her power of restoring the aged to the bloom and vigour of youth. In Rome she was worshipped under the name of Juventas, and a temple in her honour existed on the Capitoline Hill as early as the time of Servius Tullius.
