  • In Roman mythology, Veritas (meaning truth) was the goddess of truth, a daughter of Saturn and the mother of Virtue. It was believed that she hid in the bottom of a holy well because she was so elusive. Her image is shown as a young virgin dressed in white. Veritas is also the name given to the Roman virtue of truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should have possessed. In Greek mythology, Veritas was known as Aletheia. This Latin word now appears in many University mottos. Veritas is the motto of Harvard University, the Dominican Order of the Roman Catholic Church, and Providence College which is run by the Dominicans. It is included in Indiana Universitys and Yale Universitys motto Lux et Veritas (Light and Truth). It also appears on the California State Universitys motto Vox Veritas Vita (Speak the Truth as a way of Life). Veritas (Truth) is also the motto of Drake University. Caldwell College issues a "Veritas Award" each year in honor of the Dominican Sisters who founded and administer the college. Those who have been honored exemplify the philosophy and spirit of the Dominican mission embodied by the College and demonstrate accomplishment in a chosen field. Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger attended Harvard University and has been seen with Veritas written on his guitar amp for live performances on the Monuments and Melodies Tour, as seen on their August 3, 2009 appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It is also seen tattooed on the hand of Murphy McManus (Norman Reedus) in The Boondock Saints. A University named Veritas exists in Costa Rica. Public Affairs Officers in the Canadian Forces wear insignia emblazoned with the word "Veritas" as part of their standard uniform. The word is also used in the phrase in vino veritas, meaning "In wine, truth", referring to the circumstance that people seem to become uninhibited and tell what they really think (i.e. the truth) when they drink alcohol.
  • Veritas (lateinisch für "Wahrheit") ist in der Römischen Mythologie die Göttin der Wahrheit und entspricht der griechischen Aletheia. Sie ist die Tochter von Saturn oder Jupiter und Mutter der Virtus, die sie mit dem Kriegsgott Mars gezeugt hat. Sie gilt als Mutter der Tugend und der Gerechtigkeit und wurde im allgemeinen in weißer Kleidung abgebildet.
  • Veritas era la deessa de la veritat en la mitologia romana. Era filla de Saturn i mare de la Virtut. Es creia que s'amagava al fons d'un pou sagrat perquè era molt elusiva. Es representava com una jove verge vestida de blanc. Veritas també és el nom que rep la virtut romana de la veracitat, que era considerada una de les principals virtuts que tot romà havia de tenir. En la mitologia grega, Veritas havia estat coneguda com a Aletheia.
  • En la mitología romana, Veritas (verdad) era la diosa de la verdad, hija de Saturno y madre de la Virtud. Se creía que se ocultaba en el fondo de un pozo sagrado porque era muy elusiva. Su imagen la muestra como una joven virgen vestida de blanco. Veritas es también el nombre que recibe la virtud romana de la veracidad, que era considerada una de las principales virtudes que un buen romano debía poseer. En la mitología griega, Veritas era conocida como Aletheia. La palabra latina aparece en la actualidad en muchos lemas universitarios. Veritas es, por ejemplo, el lema de la Universidad de Harvard, la Orden dominica de la Iglesia católica, y el Providence College que está regido por dominicos. Está incluida en el lema Lux et Veritas (Luz y Verdad) de la Universidad de Indiana y de la Universidad de Yale. Aparece también en el lema Vox Veritas Vita (decir la verdad como una forma de vida) de la Universidad estatal de California. Veritas (Verdad) es, asimismo, el lema de la Bishop Lynch High School, que aparece en el umbral de la puerta principal. Los Public Affairs Officers de las Fuerzas Canadienses llevan insignias blasonadas con la palabra "Veritas" como parte de su uniforme estándar. La palabra se usa también en la frase in vino veritas, que significa "En el vino, la verdad" - en el sentido de que propicia situaciones de desinhibición en las que las personas tienden a decir lo que realmente piensan (i.e. la verdad).
  • Latince "hakikat, doğruluk, yavuz" anlamına gelen Veritas, Roma mitolojisi'nde hakikatın tecessümü (vücut bulmuş hali) ve tanrıçası idi. Tanrıça Veritas, Saturn'un kızı olarak bilinirdi. Ayrıca, veritas Antik Roma'da doğruluk erdemine de verilen isimdi ve çok önemliydi. Antik Roma'daki öneminin yanı sıra terim bugün Harvard Üniversitesi'nin sloganıdır ve üniversite ile özdeşleşmiştir. Ayrıca birçok üniversitenin sloganlarında da yer alır.
