Veritas

                                                     Veritas

In Roman mythology, Veritas, meaning truth, was the goddess of truth, a daughter of Saturn and the mother of Virtue. It was believed that she hid in the bottom of a holy well because she was so elusive. Her image is shown as a young virgin dressed in white. Veritas is also the name given to the Roman virtue of truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should possess. In Greek mythology, Veritas was known as Aletheia.

 Fiction

Supernatural 

Veritas is the Roman goddess of truth. She appeared in You Can't Handle The Truth, in which she made people say the truth so they would kill each other to pay her fee. 

In "You Can't Handle the Truth", she is summoned by a young woman named Corey using a cat's skull, grains of paradise seed, and Devil's Shoestring. As a result of her summoning, anyone in Calumet City, Illinois, who asks aloud for the truth, invokes her curse. Dean Winchester inadvertently invokes the curse and is suddenly bombarded by truths from everyone he encounters, including through phone calls.

Sam and Dean learn that Veritas is posing as Ashley Frank. She drives what appears to be a Jaguar E-Type or XK-E, a British automobile manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1975, which is appropriate given her character's connection with cats. They go to her home to kill her, but she captures them and, before eating them, decides to play "Truth or Truth." She forces Dean to admit that he wanted to kill Sam in his sleep because he thought he was monster; however, when she questions Sam, she becomes agitated because she can tell that Sam is lying to her. She asks Sam what he is - he can't be human if he can lie to her. Sam and Dean use this distraction to free themselves and kill her with a knife dipped in dog's blood.
