Venilia
Venilia, in Roman mythology, is a deity associated with the winds and the sea. According to Virgil and Ovid she was a nymph, the sister of Amata, and the wife of Janus[1] (or Faunus)[2] with whom she had three children, Turnus, Juturna, and Canens.[2]
She and Salacia are the paredrae of Neptune.
The Venilia Mons, a mountain on Venus, is named for her.[3]
