Furina

or Furrina, an ancient Roman divinity, who had a sacred grove at Rome. (Cic. de Nat.Deor. 3.18.) Her worship seems to have become extinct at an early time, for Varro (de L. L. 6.19) states that in his day her name was almost forgotten. An annual festival (Furinalia or Furinales feriae) had been celebrated in honour of her, and a flamen (flamen Furinalis) conducted her worship. (Varro de L. L. 5.84, 7.45.) She had also a temple in the neighbourhood of Satricum. (Cic. ad Q. Frat. 3.1.) [L.S]

Furīna

An early Latin goddess, whose name, in the time of Varro, was known to very few (Varr. L. L. v. 3). There was a sacred grove of this goddess beyond the Tiber (in which Gaius Gracchus was slain), and this, with the similitude of the name, led Cicero and others to identify Furian with the Furies (Cic. N. D. iii. 18). The Furinalia were celebrated on the 25th of July.
