Leucothea.
    Leucothea. After leaving Ogygia on his raft, Odysseus, tossed into the sea in a storm sent by Poseidon, was saved by the sea-goddess leucothea (“White Goddess”; the Romans called her “Mater Matuta”). She had formerly been Ino, sister of Se-mele, and had been thus transformed after being driven mad by Hera and leaping into the sea. Taking pity on Odysseus, she advised him to remove his clothes and cover himself with her magic veil, which protected him until he reached land two days later.
