''Opis'' not only being the wife of [[Saturn (mythology)|Saturn]], she was his sister and the daughter of [[Uranus (mythology)|Uranus]]. Her children were [[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]], [[Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]], and [[Pluto (mythology)|Pluto]]. A distinguishing deed of hers that has come down to us from these ancient times is that through female cunning she saved her children from death planned by [[Saturn (mythology)|Saturn]] and her brother [[Titan (mythology)|Titan]]. The story goes that Saturn and Titan were mortals that were turned into [[divinities]]. ''Opis'' also acquired queenly status and was reputed to be an eminent goddess and the Mother of the Gods. By public decree temples, priests, and sacrifices were accorded her. There was even an oddly shaped stone that was procured from [[Pessinus]] that represented Opis. It was put in the famous temple in Rome and worshiped by the Romans for a long time in numerous ceremonies.<ref>Virginia Brown's translation of Giovanni Boccaccio’s ''Famous Women'', p. 12 - 13; Harvard University Press 2001; ISBN 0-674-01130-9</ref>
