AETNA
a Sicilian nymph, and according to Alcimus, a daughter of Uranus and Gaea, or of Briareus. Simonides said that she had acted as arbitrator between Hephaestus and Demeter respecting the possession of Sicily. By Zeus or Hephaestus she became the mother of the Palici.
Mount Aetna in Sicily was believed to hare derived its name
from her, and under it Zeus buried Typhon, Enceladus,
or Briareus. The mountain itself was believed to be the place in
which Hephaestus and the Cyclops made
the thunderbolts for Zeus.
