The statue of Afaya on Ejina Island
Apha í a (Greek: Ἀπαία, Apha í a) is a Greek goddess worshipped only at a sacred site on the island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf. She was worshipped as a local god related to fertility and agricultural cycles as early as the 14th century BC. Under the later Athenian hegemony, she was recognized as the goddesses Athena and Artemis, as well as Nymphon Britomatis. In the 2nd century AD, during the time of Pausanias, people would pass by the holy site of Afaea when traveling to the mountain of Zeus, the god of all Greece.
