Tellus (mytologi)
For alternative betydninger, se Tellus. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Tellus)
Tellus Mater (af nogle dog kaldt for Tellas eller Terra Mater) var gudinde for jorden i romersk mytologi. Navnets sproglige oprindelse er uklar; måske talam som er sanskrit for "(jord)overflade".[1]
Gudinden har givet Jorden dens videnskabelige navne, Tellus eller Terra. Ifølge en konvention fra IAU bør Terra dog kun benyttes om store landmasser og ikke for planeten Jorden.[2]

Central part of a large floor mosaic, from a Roman villa in Sentinum (now known as Sassoferrato, in Marche, Italy), ca. 200–250 C.E. Aion, the god of eternity, is standing inside a celestial sphere decorated with zodiac signs. Sitting in front of him is the mother-earth goddess, Tellus (the Roman counterpart of Gaia) with her four children, who possibly represent the four seasons.
