Nane (goddess)

The temple of the goddess Nane was in the town of Thil across from the Lycus River.

"[1] "Gregory then asked the king for permission to overthrow and destroy the pagan shrines and temples.

Trdat readily issued an edict entrusting Gregory with this task, and himself set out from the city to destroy shrines along the highways.

[6] It is however known that in Ancient Armenia, it was traditional for Kings to meet with the oldest woman in their dynasty because she was often seen as the epitome of Nane.

In Armenia and other countries around the world, the name Nane continues to be used not only as a personal name, but also as a nickname for the grandmother of the household.
