Opora (mythology)
In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Opora (Ancient Greek: Ὀπώρα, romanized: Opṓra, lit. 'autumn, fruit') is a minor goddess connected to fruit, the harvest, especially wine harvest, and the season of autumn. She is a fairly obscure goddess, although she features in a little-known myth centered around her romance with the stellar god Sirius, the Dog Star.
