Some believe Her to have been the Roman equivalent of the Greek Hera Dea, the daughter of Artemis and Phosporus, however there is very little evidence that such a character existed in Greek mythology.
Another theory, popularized by Charles Godfrey Leland in his 1899 publication of Aradia: The Gospel of the Witches, is that the name "Aradia" is a corruption of "Herodias".
Aradia is believed by most Streghe to have been incarnated into a woman named Aradia de Toscano in the early 1300's.
