Tanit was the supreme goddess of Carthage, a Phoenician colony, identified with fertility, war, and the moon, often linked to the Greek goddess Athena and identified as Astarte or Dido in Greco-Roman syncretism, symbolizing life, prosperity, and the heavens, sometimes associated with the lion and the serpent.
