Question

In an Eastern European riddle, a girl identified with this domain drops her keys, which are then seen by one entity and taken by another. The epithet bṛhatī, or “high,” caused scholarly association of the Irish poetry goddess Brigid with a deity of this domain. A goddess of this domain known as the “daughter of Dyaus” is described smiling and uncovering her bosom in Rig Vedic hymns. The reconstructed Proto-Indo European (15[1])goddess of this domain, *H₂éwsōs (15[1]10[1])(“HAY-oo-sohss”), originated the names of the Lithuanian Aušrinė (“OW-shrih-nay”) and a Germanic goddess who lends her name to (*) Easter. The (-5[1])lover of a goddess of this domain accidentally killed Procris with a javelin that never missed its target. That “saffron-robed” goddess of this domain locked away a lover who babbles endlessly because she forgot to ask for eternal youth. For 10 points, name this domain of shining goddesses like “rosy-fingered” Eos. (10[1])■END■
