Ma has been interpreted as a
mother goddess, but at the same time as a warrior goddess, as her name and epithets indicate both.
Plutarch likened her with
Semele and Athena. Ma-Enyo, a fusion between the Anatolian goddess Ma and the Greek Goddess, Enyo, was considered the great west Asian nature-goddess, with Comana's temple and its fame in ancient times as the place where the rites of this, a variety of the nature goddess, were celebrated with much solemnity. ==Cult==
