<h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Lore</h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">In Roman mythology, <b>Veritas</b>, meaning <i>truth</i>, 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 sacred 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.
</p>
<h2>Trivia</h2>
<ul><li>In television series <i>Smallville</i>, Veritas happens to be the name of the group of people that welcome the traveler AKA Superman or fellow Kryptonians. Veritas was run by the Teagues, Queens, Luthors, and the Swanns. Like above it's ironic that how the Swanns were part of Veritas and the actress of character Veritas happens to have the last name Swan. Another surname wordplay is of Veritas's alias Ashley Frank, of which "frank" is an adjective to mean "honest" or "blunt" and "Ashley" sounds very similar to the word "actually."
</li><li>When Sam is searching for Veritas on the web, a picture of Theodora (empress of the Byzantine Empire and the wife of Emperor Justinian I) shows up, as to be a Verita.
</li><li>Veritas was played by <b>Serinda Swan</b>, who also played a hospital receptionist in <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Season%201%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Season%201%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSeason%201%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="4428-19481849805f09ee2b71d1e" href="/wiki/Season_1" title="Season 1">Season 1</a>'s <i><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Salvation%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Salvation%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSalvation%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="4428-19481849805f09ee2b71d1e" href="/wiki/Salvation" title="Salvation">Salvation</a></i>.
