What are the Roman and Greek names for the goddess of childbirth?

The correct response identifies Lucina and Eileithyia as the Roman and Greek names, respectively, for the goddess of childbirth. In Roman mythology, Lucina is specifically associated with childbirth and is regarded as a protector of women during labor. Eileithyia, her Greek counterpart, serves a similar role, facilitating childbirth and being invoked for support during labor. This connection between the two names emphasizes their roles in mythological traditions surrounding birth.

The other options do not pertain to the goddess of childbirth. Hebe and Thetis, for example, are not associated with childbirth; Hebe is the goddess of youth, while Thetis is a sea goddess and mother of Achilles. Demeter and Ceres are primarily known as goddesses of agriculture and the harvest rather than childbirth. Lastly, Iris and Juno represent different aspects of mythology, with Iris being the goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods, and Juno being the queen of the gods and protector of women, but not specifically a goddess of childbirth.
