The cult of Ops was (mythically) instituted by King [[Titus Tatius]], the Sabine monarch. Ops soon became the patroness of riches, abundance, and prosperity, both on a personal and national level. Ops had a famous temple in the [[Capitoline Triad|Capitolium]]. Originally, a festival took place in Ops' honor on [[August 10]]. Additionally, on [[December 19]] (some say December 9), the [[Opalia]] was celebrated. On [[August 25]], the [[Opiconsivia]] was held. Opiconsivia was another name used for Opis, indicating when the earth was sown. These festivals also included activities that were called [[Consualia]], in honor of [[Consus]], her [[king consort|consort]].
 
''Opis'' not only being the wife of [[Saturn (mythology)|Saturn]], she was his sister and the daughter of [[Uranus (mythology)|UranusCaelus]]. 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.
