An Entity of Type: mythological figure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Dalia is the goddess of fate in the Lithuanian mythology. She is the giver and taker of goods and property. Dalia is often confused with and hard to distinguish from Laima, another goddess of fate. Sometimes Dalia is thought of as a different manifestation of Laima. However, Laima is more involved in predicting the length of a person's life while Dalia is more concerned with material wealth a person would earn during the lifetime – allotting a proper share (Lithuanian: dalis) to everyone. According to myths, just as a father divides his estate among the children, so Dievas Senelis (manifestation of supreme god Dievas) allots each newborn with a proper share. Dalia is seen more as an enforcer of Dievas' will rather than a decision-maker. She can appear as a woman, lamb, dog, swan, or duck.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Dalia ist eine Schicksalsgöttin der litauischen Mythologie. Sie ist die Spenderin und Nehmerin von Gütern und Eigentum. Dalia wird oft mit Laima, einer anderen litauischen Schicksalsgöttin, verwechselt und ist auch schwer von ihr zu unterscheiden. Manchmal wird über Dalia vermutet, sie wäre eine andere Manifestation von Laima.Laimas Aufgabe ist es allerdings, die Lebenszeit einer Person vorauszusagen, während Dalia den materiellen Wohlstand einer Person im Laufe ihres Lebens bestimmt und dabei jedem einen angemessenen Anteil (litauisch: dalis) zuteilt. Den Legenden zufolge, teilt Dievas Senelis, (eine Manifestation des obersten Gottes Dievs) genau wie ein Vater, der sein Vermögen unter seinen Kindern aufteilt, Neugeborenen einen angemessenen Anteil zu. Dalia wird dabei nicht als Entscheidungsträgerin, sondern eher als Vollstreckerin von Dievs Willen angesehen. Sie kann als Frau, Lamm, Hund, Schwan oder Ente erscheinen. (de)
