magic flower. No one knows the name of the magic flower of Greek myth that Flora gave to the goddess Juno to make her pregnant. According to the myth, Juno was jealous about the birth of the goddess Athena without a mother and was deter- mined to have a child by herself. (Athena’s father, Zeus, had swallowed his pregnant wife Metis, because he feared she would give birth to a son stronger than himself; Athena sprang from the head of her father when the god Prometheus split his head open with an axe.) Flora’s magic flower enabled Juno to have a child without a father, and she gave birth to Mars, who was a god of vegetation sacred to farmers, and later became the god of war.
