Brizo
 | This article needs attention from an expert in Classical Greece and Rome. The specific problem is: Someone should go through the references and make sure they assert what is now written in the article. (December 2023) |
Brizo /ˈbraɪzoʊ/ (Greek: Βριζώ; derived from Ancient Greek word βρίζω meaning "to slumber") is an ancient Greek goddess who was known as the protector of mariners, sailors, and fishermen.[1][2][3] Brizo was also known as a prophetic goddess specializing in the interpretation of dreams,[4]
One of the epithets that was used in ancient Greece for the seers who specialized at the interpretation of dreams was brizomantis (βριζόμαντις).[5][6]
