lmckenzie: FYI Ashmodea is Hebrew. It a contraction of two words: Asham=guilt, and Modaa or Modea=knowledge. Ashamodea would therefore mean 'Knowledgable of Guilt.' An interesting name for a Warrior Princess. Alternatively I might suggest something based upon the Goddess Ishtar, or Astarte. She was the Babylonian Goddess of both erotic Love and Fertility. But to the Assyrians, she was also the Goddess of War, Death and destruction being the reverse side of birth and renewal. When her cult traveled west, and arrived in ancient Greece, her personna was split into two entities, Demeter and Athena. Demeter became the Goddess of fertility, growth, and harvest, while Athena became the Goddess of Knowledge and War. Athena is usually depicted wearing armor and carrying a spear. Iterestingly, even though Ishtar was the Goddess of love, she was also a perpetual virgin. Being as she was the Goddess of all growth and fertility, no one man could 'possess' her; ergo inspite of having a string of lovers, she remained a virgin. End of lecture, David
