Souconna

Souconna

Souconna ist in der Keltischen Mythologie die weibliche Gottheit des Flusses Saône. Dieser Fluss trug ab dem 14. Jahrhundert n. Chr. den Namen Souconna, der ältere Name für ihn war Arar (im Stammesnamen der Ambarrer vorzufinden, Ambi-arari = „die zu beiden Seiten des Arar Wohnenden“).

Im Jahre 1912 wurde eine Weiheinschrift für diese Göttin in Chalon-sur-Saône (Burgund) gefunden. Ein weiterer Epigraph in der Nähe von Sagonne (Département Cher) trägt zwar auch diesen Namen, es dürfte sich aber wegen der großen Distanz vermutlich um eine andere Gottheit handeln.
