Endovelicus

Endovelicus

Endovelicus (venant du celte Andevellicos, signifiant «très bon») est une divinité antique d'origine lusitanienne qui fut intégrée dans la mythologie romaine après la conquête de cette région. Endovelicus est le dieu de la santé et du bien-être et son animal associé est le sanglier.

Le culte d'Endovelicus s'est surtout développé au Portugal et au sud de l'Espagne (province de Bétique). Il existe un temple dédié à São Miguel da Mota dans la région de l'Alentejo au Portugal.
