Milda was the goddess of love, courting, friendship and freedom in Lithuanian mythology. She was the worst enemy of loneliness and was often portrayed as a woman who drove a chariot pulled by doves. Milda also liked to ride naked, causing hearts to flutter and it was rumoured that one glimpse at her delightful vision wafting down the street meant that you were mere seconds away from love, romance and all the other stuff you’d been waiting for. Apparently she didn’t care about marriage. In her eyes, matrimony was secondary to love and friendship. To her worshippers she represented freedom. The female figure at the top of the Freedom Monument in Riga is affectionately called ‘Milda’, because the model for the sculpture was a Lithuanian woman named Milda Jasikienė who lived in the city.(Marchesa Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Collection) -- source link
