Festival to the Goddess of Good Sense

This Monday, June 8th, is the day devoted to the goddess of good sense, called Mens, Latin for mind, reason, intellect, or judgment.

This is from A Catechism of Mythology, Being a Compendious History of the Heathen Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes, by C. Irving, published in 1822:

Q. What was the divinity Mens? 

A. There were several temples in Rome dedicated to the goddess Mens, under which the ancients paid divine honours to good sense and understanding.

Another book, titled, Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome, by Lesley Adkins and Roy A. Adkins, published in 1994, says:

[Mens] was the personification of "mind" or "right thinking" and had a festival on 8 June. 

Paying respect, homage, and honor to good sense--it makes you want to stand up and cheer!
