Looking back Bellona is the Roman Goddess of War and is described by poets as being related to Mars, as sister, wife or daughter. She was represented as armed with a bloody scourge in one hand and a torch in another. Hence, figuratively the name came to be used as a word for a woman of great spirit and vigour.
Ponder I have always been a quarter of an hour before my time, and it has made a man of me. Lord Nelson
