The dark and heterogeneously composed X-type (Tholen: C P-type) asteroid contains primitive carbonaceous materials, responsible for its low albedo of 0.04. Aletheia measures about 185 kilometers in diameter and belongs to the largest asteroids of the main-belt. It has a semi-major axis of 3.1 AU and an orbit inclined by 11 degrees with a period of 5.55 years. Richard P. Binzel and Schelte Bus further added to the knowledge about this asteroid in a lightwave survey published in 2003. This project was known as Small Main-belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey, Phase II or SMASSII, which built on a previous survey of the main-belt asteroids.

Claudius Marius Victorius
Claudius Marius Victorius (or Victorinus or Victor) was a ''rhetor'' (i.e. a teacher and poet) of the fifth century CE from Marseille. He is known for a Latin poem on Genesis in hexameters and a letter to the abbot Salomon against the moral degradation of his age. Biography Evidence for Claudius's life comes from Gennadius of Massilia. He was born in the second half of the fourth century and died during the reign of Theodosius the Younger and Valentinian III, around 446. Works Gennadius of Massilia assigns a poem on Genesis, the ''Aletheia'' (i.e. Ancient Greek ἀλήθεια, 'truth'), to Claudius Marius Victor, ''orator Massiliensis'' ('an orator from Marseille').

Veritas
Veritas is the name given to the Roman virtue of Honesty, truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should possess. The Greek goddess of truth is Aletheia (Ancient Greek language, Ancient Greek: ). The German philosopher Martin Heidegger argues that the truth represented by ''aletheia'' (which essentially means "unconcealment") is different from that represented by ''veritas'', which is linked to a Roman understanding of rightness and finally to a Nietzschean sense of justice and a will to power. In Roman mythology, Veritas (), meaning Truth, is the Goddess of Truth, a daughter of Saturn (mythology), Saturn (called Cronus by the Greeks, the Titan (mythology), Titan of Time, perhaps first by Plutarch), and the mother of Virtus (deity), Virtus. She is also sometimes considered the daughter of Jupiter (mythology), Jupiter (called Zeus by the Greeks), or a creation of Prometheus. The elusive goddess is said to have hidden in the bottom of a holy well. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alethea
Alethea is an English-language female first name derived from the Ancient Greek feminine noun grc, ἀλήθεια, alḗtheia, truth, label=none; ().Campbell. It is thus an equivalent of the name Verity, from the Latin feminine noun ''veritas'', "truth". Use of the name dates from the 16th century with Alethea Talbot (1585–1654), the youngest daughter of Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury (later Countess of Arundel following her marriage to Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel). The name as used for the daughter of a wealthy nobleman in the Renaissance era in England would certainly have been pronounced , that is as an Ancient Greek word, as the father would have received a thorough education in Ancient Greek and would thus be aware of the correct pronunciation. Women named Alethea include: *Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, Inuk Canadian filmmaker *Alethea Charlton (1931–1976), British actress *Alethea Garstin (1894–1978), English painter and Royal Academician *Alethea Hayter OBE ...
