"Ops In ancient Roman religion, Ops or Opis (Latin: ""Plenty"") was a fertility deity and earth goddess of Sabine origin. In Ops' statues and coins, she is figured sitting down, as Chthonian deities normally are, and generally holds a scepter, or a corn spray and cornucopia. The husband of Ops was Saturn. In Roman mythology, and in Greek mythology where Ops is identified as Rhea, her husband was Cronus, the bountiful monarch of the golden age. Cronus was Rhea's husband and brother. In Latin writings of the time, the singular nominative (""Ops"") is not used; only the form ""Opis"" is"

""Dafne"" by Jacopo Peri was the earliest composition considered opera, as understood today. It was written around 1597, largely under the inspiration of an elite circle of literate Florentine humanists who gathered as the ""Camerata de' Bardi"". Significantly, ""Dafne"" was an attempt to revive the classical Greek drama, part of the wider revival of antiquity characteristic of"

If Chase is correct, then Opiter is probably derived from the same root as the names of the plebeian ""gentes Opimia"" and ""Opisia,"" and may be the Latin cognate of the Oscan praenomen ""Oppius"" or ""Oppiis"", as well as ""gens Oppia"".
