evo sta sam ja nasao na Netu:
Tellus (tĕl`əs), in Roman religion, earth goddess; also called Terra Mater. As a goddess of fertility, she was worshiped at festivals held in January (in conjunction with Ceres) and in April. Tellus was identified with the Greek Gaea.
Noun 1. Tellus - (Roman mythology) goddess of the earth; protector of marriage and fertility; identified with Greek Gaea
Tellus, an alternative name for the planet Earth; see also Terra.
Terra Mater or Tellus Mater was a goddess personifying the Earth in Roman mythology. The names Terra Mater and Tellus Mater both mean "Mother Earth" in Latin... Some linguists studying the Indo-European languages believe that the two words Terra and Tellus derive from the formulaic phrase tersa tellus, meaning "dry land". If this is true, Tellus might be the more ancient version of the name. Technically, in correct classical Latin, Terra refers to the element earth (one of the four basic elements of earth, air, water, and fire) and Tellus refers to the sphere upon which we live, the globe itself. A festival for Tellus called the Fordicia or Hordicidia was held every year on April 15; it involved the sacrifice of pregnant cows and was managed by the pontifex maximus and the Vestal Virgins.
