Asteroid 393. Lampetia. was discovered on November 4, 1894 by Maximilian Wolf in Heidelberg, Germany. 393 Lampetia has a period of 4 years, 231 days and is about 60 1/5 miles in diameter.
It was named for Lampetia, the daughter of the Greek sun god Helios and the goddess of the sun's light, who watched her father's cattle along with her sister Phaethusa, the goddess of the sun's ability to dazzle and blind. Lampetia told her father that Odysseus' men had slaughtered some of his cattle, and when Helios threatened to take his light from the earth to the underworld if the offenders were not punished, Zeus slaughtered them en masse with a thunderbolt.
Astrologically, Lampetia seems to be about guardianship, to guard, to care for, to inform, sunlight, livestock raising and herding..
